We hope that it formally goes in order, so we can look forward to the celebration that we had looked forward to in years. That was in the agreement between us and the UEFA taken into account that the tournament could be postponed, but it has of course required some in-depth talk with all parties, before such a large operation as to advance the EM could be managed, and we can go common on. Now we are in the goal with the part and hope to be able to provide all danes with a big sportssommer to look forward to in 2021,” says Bo Rygaard.

“It is a historic opportunity to get the EM-finals to Denmark and get four games in Copenhagen, so we can create a big football feast in the whole of Denmark. At DBU we are ready to arrange the four EM-matches in the summer of 2021, but we can’t do it without the unconditional support from our business partners. We are happy for the support, but there is still a lot of work to do, and I’m only sure, when we have a final agreement,” says Jesper Møller in a press release.
