UEFA unveils official Euro 2020 logo in London

FA Chairman Clarke said: “This is an innovative move for European football and we are extremely proud at The FA to have such a prominent role in the staging of the 2020 UEFA European Championship, particularly given the unique format”.

England will consider making a bid to host the Euro 2028 tournament, Greg Clarke, the FA chairman, has revealed.

This plan, which is scheduled to start from 2018, is a significant increase from the 11 guaranteed berths the Bundesliga, LaLiga, the Premier League and Serie A now get, with four more teams having to come through a knock-out round.

Since its inception in 1960, the UEFA European Championship (Euro) has taken place 15 times, and on 13 occasions, there has been one country as the host of the individual edition, and on two occasions there were two neighboring countries that shared the hosting duties.

The bidding process for the 2018 World Cup and the 2022 tournament, won by Qatar, was marred by accusations of vote-buying.

Instead, he feels England teams at all levels, male and female, should be looking to compete successfully in any competition they enter.

“Yes, (the England women’s team) is on the up”, said Glenn when asked for a reaction to the team’s continuing success. But that is our ambition: “to turn up to every tournament as a reasonable favourite and take it from there”. We’ve got to be the fittest England team ever going into this tournament.

New Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin confirmed the 2020 format is a one-off to mark the 60th anniversary of the tournament.

“I don’t necessarily agree with that”, said Ceferin who pledged in the wake of his election victory to make the new group-stage rules, agreed by UEFA’s top brass before he came to power, his biggest priority. But as I told you, it was my first day yesterday.

As well as England, Euro 2020 matches will be staged in in Azerbaijan, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Scotland and Spain.
