In 2020, UEFA’s quadrennial festival of football will land on Irish shores for the first time. The European Championships will go against tradition when it takes place across 12 countries rather than the usual one or two.
Today, European football’s governing body has confirmed the match schedule for the tournament as Dublin prepares to host three matches in Group E as well as one round of 16 game.
