The UEFA European Championships 2020 were postponed in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and instead took place in June and July 2021. For the first time in the tournament's history, the games were hosted throughout several nations in Europe. Among these nations was the United Kingdom. A survey from April 2021 concluded that close to half of British football fans thought that, if the UK were to host the entire tournament, only fans from the UK should be allowed to attend. Ultimately, London's Wembley Stadium hosted the semi-finals and finals of the tournament, which saw Italy crowned as champions for the second time in the nation's history.
