The biggest football tournament of the coronavirus-era is about to get started, with the first match of EURO2020 kicking off at 1900 GMT in Rome where Italy plays Turkey 🇮🇹 ⚽️ 🇹🇷

Turkey coach Senol Gunes with players during training ahead of Turkey-Italy Euro 2020 match. June 10, 2021.

In Rome, the Stadio Olimpico will be filled to about 25 percent of capacity, meaning 16,000 supporters will be present to watch Roberto Mancini's Italy face Turkey in the first game in Group A. "They do their trainings in the Italian league, they know [Italy's] football culture and working order in this country."

The team even had to name a "parallel" squad of 17 reserve players, fearing a possible wider outbreak in the official 26-man squad. But despite the ongoing threat, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has been bullish, insisting the Euro will be safe. Munich will host just 14,000 fans – around 22 percent of the Allianz Arena's capacity, the lowest of the stadiums being used.Dublin and Bilbao were dropped from the list of hosts after being unable to give guarantees they could meet UEFA's requirement of accommodating limited numbers of spectators, but Seville stepped in for Bilbao while Dublin's games went to London and Saint-Petersburg.
