UEFA Euro 2020 in Munich
The UEFA Euro 2020 will be held in Germany, as well as a handful of other countries, so purchase your tickets and get ready for a memorable summer of football in Munich! The event could not go ahead in 2020 due to coronavirus, so an adapted version is taking place this summer, with health and safety taken carefully into consideration.
Munich co-hosts one of the biggest football championships in the world
Officially called the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship, but commonly known as the UEFA Euro 2020, or simply the Euro 2020, this year's tournament consists of 51 matches between teams representing 24 countries. Instead of one host city, the matches will be played across several joint host cities.

If you love football, there's so much to look forward to this summer:
UEFA Euro 2020 app
There’s a UEFA Euro 2020 app available to help football fans navigate the city since so many football fans will be descending on Munich from far and wide to enjoy the atmosphere of the Euro 2020. It’s not only for ticket-holders but is very handy for keeping up with the scores and also has personalised city tips, a journey planner and walking routes.
What to wear
A massive part of the fun is getting dressed up for the match, whether it’s the German team’s jersey and scarf or garish black, red and yellow hats, face paint or novelty sunglasses. Organised spectators will have their rain ponchos ready in case the weather takes a turn for the worse because umbrellas are not allowed in the football arena.
Eating and drinking at the Euro 2020
Food and drink can’t be taken inside the Allianz Arena either, so it's a chance to try the local German food! If you're not a ticket holder, you might be watching the matches in a bar, where you're likely to find some delicious regional speciality dishes from southern Germany and, of course, German beer.
