Eurostadium
Eurostadium was a proposed stadium in Grimbergen, Belgium, just north of Brussels. It would have had a capacity of 62,613. In June 2015, the building deadline was set for 2019. It would have hosted matches for UEFA Euro 2020, and would have become the home ground of the national football team of Belgium. The initial plans intended for it to be the home ground of RSC Anderlecht as well, but they withdrew from the project in an early stage. In contrast to the current stadium at the Heysel Plateau, the King Baudouin Stadium, it would no longer contain an athletics track. History In March 2015, the City of Brussels council chose the Ghelamco/ BAM Consortium as best candidate to finance, build and exploit the stadium. During the years that followed, however, the project was plagued by numerous political delays. Anderlecht eventually pulled out of the project in February 2017. Because of the delays, concerns rose that the stadium would not be built in time for Euro 2020, or even at ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Italy won their second European Championship title by beating England on penalties in the final following a 1–1 draw after extra time. The win came exactly on the 39th anniversary of Italy's 1982 FIFA World Cup Final win over West Germany. The tournament was originally intended to be playe ...
