Euro 2020 is a multi-city event organized in Amsterdam, Baku, Bilbao, Bucharest, Budapest, Copenhagen, Dublin, Glasgow, London, Munich, Rome and Saint Petersburg in the current state of affairs.

Italian football has seen its timetable particularly modified in recent weeks due to the mass epidemic of the virus.

Inter Milan played Ludogorets behind closed doors in the Europa League on Thursday evening and their title clash with Juventus on Sunday will also take place in an empty stadium in Turin.

Italy is the most affected country in Europe, with 17 deaths from the virus and 650 infections. The epidemic is concentrated in a small group of cities in the northern regions of Lombardy and Veneto.

Italy's government banned all sports events in six regions of the country, including Piedmont, where Juventus' hometown of Turin is located.

There are five closed-door Serie A matches this weekend, raising concerns about Italy's ability to open the summer tournament.
