Euro 2020: everything is ready for the Italy-England final (but the big screens will not be in all cities)

That of the 2020 European Championships scheduled for Sunday 11 July at Wembley Stadium, in London, will be there11th final conquered by the Italian national team in an international event. We last came close to the European Championships in 2012, in a very painful match that saw Spain, the same one we eliminated in the semifinal this year, triumphing with 4 goals out of zero. Now, however, things are different and to contend with Italy will be England, a team we never met in the final because England only played one, in 1966 (it was the World Cup against West Germany).

The final will be played on Sunday at 9pm at Wembley Stadium and it will be visible live on Raiuno and via satellite on Sky Sport Uno, Sky Sport Football and Sky Sport.

For all the others, the appointment with the big screen in the squares has not been confirmed for all the cities due to the fear of gatherings and the proliferation of the Delta variant that is worrying not only our country, but also many other European states. In Rome, for example, it is not yet certain whether there will be a giant screen at the Olimpico: fans will be able, however, to follow the feats of the national team at the Piazza del Popolo, and in other large screens scattered around the city, such as the one in via dei Fori Imperiali. In Milan no gatherings in Piazza Duomo and San Siro: the appointment is, for those who wish, at the East Milan Arena in Lambrate, in the garden of the Triennale, at the Magnolia, the Idroscalo, the Carroponte and the Tuscan Santeria. Turin, on the other hand, responds with the Mirafiori Motor Village in Piazza Cattaneo 9 and a large screen at the show arena in Piazza Martiri della Libertà 1, in Venaria Reale.

No big screen, however, in Venice, while Bologna even offers eight (the largest in Piazza Maggiore). In many cases, reservations will be needed, because the venues are limited due to the anti-crowd rules, but the important thing is, as Bonucci also pointed out, that the fans cheer and celebrate in a responsible manner. Meanwhile, to attend the Italy-England final on 11 July directly from Wembley will also be the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, who chose to show his closeness to the Azzurri as Sandro Pertini and Giorgio Napolitano had already done in 1982 and 2006, in the two World Cup matches that Italy won.
