As the world was battling its way through a pandemic during 2020, a lot of the sporting events which were scheduled to happen in the year ended up being either cancelled or postponed. The UEFA European Football Championship, informally known as the Euro, was one such tournament that had to be postponed. Euro 2020, the sixteenth edition of the premier football tournament for identifying the best football nation in Europe, has now been rescheduled for June 11, 2021, to July 11, 2021.

The UEFA Euro 2020 is going to be Pan-European, with games to be played at 11 venues across 11 countries. This is the first time the tournament is being hosted by multiple countries. Besides, this is also the first time the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system is going to be used in the matches. The UEFA has laid out various sets of guidelines for both the teams and spectators due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

With only a couple of weeks ahead of the inauguration, the teams have started announcing their squads one by one. Football fans from around the world are keenly looking forward to seeing the most popular players from across the 24 participating nations like Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Pogba, Sergio Ramos, Harry Kane, Luka Modric, Bruno Fernandes, Robert Lewandowski, Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Ivan Rakitić, Federico Chiesa, Memphis Depay, and Georginio Wijnaldum. Apart from the usual players, players like Benzema are returning to their national squads after a long break.

Apart from the crazy fans of the sport, the EURO 2020 has also caught the attention of people seeking some casual entertainment to keep their lives kicking. With no other major sporting event or pop culture phenomenon happening on such a large scale, the UEFA Euro 2020, along with the Copa America, have ended up being natural choices for people seeking quality entertainment. Apart from following the games live, engaging in Fantasy sports is one thing these passive consumers of entertainment usually involve themselves in.
