Due to the fact that the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic on 12 March 2020, at the meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee on 17 March 2020, it was decided to postpone the previously announced dates of UEFA EURO 2020 to 11 June to 11 July 2021. Considering the recommendations of UEFA and the current situation with the pandemic in Baku, at the meeting of the Operational Headquarters under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the local organizing committee of EURO 2020, it was decided that 50% of the total seating capacity of the Baku Olympic Stadium will be able to participate, following procedures related with COVİD-19. The decision will apply not only to local fans, but also to nationals of the countries whose national teams participate in the games (subject to the relevant visa requirements).
