ROME — Euro 2020 will kick-off as scheduled on June 11 in Rome after European football's governing body UEFA on Wednesday (April 14) "fully confirmed" the Italian capital after receiving guarantees that fans would be present in the Stadio Olimpico.

Rome was one of four of the 12 host cites in the pan-European tournament threatened with having its matches removed because it could not give assurances that spectators would be allowed into grounds given the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
