Like the World Cup, it typically takes place every four years, but Euro 2020 was postponed by a full year due to the pandemic. It&#8217;s finally ready to kick off Friday, when Turkey plays Italy in Rome. Here are some things to know about the month-long, 24-team tournament to decide European soccer supremacy:<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.cbc.ca\/1.6059677.1623271434!\/fileImage\/httpImage\/image.jpg_gen\/derivatives\/16x9_780\/1233236648.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><p><strong>Four of the top five countries in the FIFA world rankings are here.<\/strong>&nbsp;No. 3 Brazil is missing, but you&#8217;ll see top-ranked Belgium, reigning World Cup champion France (No. 2), England (4) and defending Euro champ Portugal (5). In 2016, Portugal&#8217;s Eder scored in extra time of the final vs. France to give his country its first Euro title. Cristiano Ronaldo scored three goals in that tournament, including two in the knockout stage. At 36, this could be his final Euro.<\/p><p><strong>11 different countries are hosting matches.<\/strong>&nbsp;This was planned before the pandemic, as a way to mark the 60th anniversary of the tournament. Each of the six groups will play their matches in two locations. The top two teams in each group and the four best third-place teams advance to the single-elimination round of 16, which will be held in seven different cities. The quarter-finals are in Munich, St. Petersburg, Rome and Baku, Azerbaijan. The semifinals (July 6 and 7) and final (July 11) will be played at London&#8217;s Wembley Stadium.<\/p><p><strong>Fans will be in attendance, to varying degrees.<\/strong>\u00a0How many depends on local restrictions. Budapest is the only host allowing close to a full stadium (theirs should have more than 60,000 fans). Baku and St. Petersburg are going for around half. Copenhagen and Seville will try for about a third, and the rest are planning for 20-25 per cent capacity.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/sports\/the-buzzer-newsletter-euro-2020-preview-1.6059674\">CBC<\/a><\/div><\/div><hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/><p><a href=\"https:\/\/tg24.sky.it\/sport\/2021\/06\/10\/calendario-europei-2021\">Europei 2021, il calendario completo: dalla fase a gironi alla finale<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/tg24.sky.it\/sport\/2021\/06\/10\/calendario-europei-2021\">Skytg24 &#8211;<\/a> <em>Si parte con l\u2019Italia che inaugura la competizione contro la Turchia a Roma l\u201911 giugno alle 21, l\u2019atto conclusivo \u00e8 a Londra allo stadio Wembley l\u201911 luglio, sempre alle 21.
