Capacity: 90,000
Opened: 2007

If we take a closer look at the importance of football stadiums used in Euro 2020, we will notice that Wembley Stadium is probably the most important stadium during this competition. The biggest stadium in the UK will host most of the Euro 2020 matches including the final.
The record attendance of 89,874 might be broken when the finale comes. Keep in mind that this stadium was opened in 2007, but it was built on the round of the old Wembley Stadium that was over 80 years old.
As for betting, passionate punters will have seven matches to choose from when it comes to Wembley Stadium. Probably the most interesting bet will be the final, but it’s still too early to predict who might win the championship.

Known for its interesting design, Baku Olympic Stadium is one of the most attractive football stadiums on this list. As the name suggests, this venue was built not just for football or specifically for the Euro 2020, but also for other events, both sporting and non-sporting.
The stadium was opened in 2015 and the match that drew record crowd so far was Qarabag FK vs Roma (67,200). There’s no doubt that there will be some interesting matches on this stadium during the Euro 2020 competition.
For instance, Turkey will meet Switzerland and Wales here while Wales will play against Switzerland.

Many people call this stadium – The Cathedral – due to its specific design. It was opened in 2014 and it was built on the ground of the old stadium that bears the same name. The old stadium was opened in 1913.
Nowadays, this football arena is used by Athletic Bilbao and the Basque Country national football team. It’s among the top 10 football stadiums in Spain in terms of capacity. As some of you might have guessed, the Spain national football team will play on this venue during Euro 2020.

The capital city of Denmark will also host a few matches of Euro 2020. The famous Parken Stadium that was opened in 1992 will host three matches from the group stage and one match from the Round of 16 phase.
It’s worth mentioning that this is the smallest venue on the list of football stadiums that are part of the Euro 2020. The good thing is that Denmark managed to qualify for this competition. This means that the fans will watch Denmark on three matches including the ones against Russia and Belgium.
Denmark had great results in the qualifiers and experts believe that they will do well in the first stage of this competition. So, betting on Denmark and over on goals is always an option.

Here’s a stadium that doesn’t need a special introduction. The home ground of Bayern Munich was opened in 2005. After years playing as tenants on the Olympic Stadium, Bayern decided to build its own stadium.
With a capacity of 75,000, this is one of the largest stadiums in Europe. In addition to the group stage, this venue will be used for one quarter-final match too. Some of the most interesting and exciting matches on the upcoming Euro 2020 competition will be played on Allianz Arena.
Of course, Germany will host three of these matches including the matches against France and Portugal. The outcome of these matches is difficult to predict and this is something that every betting expert will confirm. So, maybe you can try a draw-no-bet solution here or handicap betting variants.

Matches: Group stage, and quarter-finals
Capacity: 70,643
Opened: 1937
Usual tenants: Italy national football team, AS Roma, SS Lazio
Stadio Olimpico might not be among the biggest football stadiums in the world, but it’s definitely among the oldest. Opened in 1937, this stadium which was known by a few other names including Stadio dei Centomila and Stadio dei Cipressi was renovated a few times.
During Euro 2020, Stadio Olimpico will be used for three group stage matches and one quarter-final match. Italy will have great support this Euro 2020 on this venue. They will play against Wales, Switzerland, and Turkey here.
Italy’s qualification period was like a walk in a park especially when they were playing at home where they have 5 out of 5 wins with 21 scored and just 2 conceded goals. So, betting on Italy and over 2.5 goals is just one of the options you can use here.

- Italy will have a huge advantage simply by playing here at least in the group stage
7. Hampden Park
Location: Glasgow, Scotland, UK
Matches: Group stage, and round of 16
Capacity: 51,866
Opened: 1903
Usual tenants: Scotland national football team, Queen’s Park Rangers
Hampden Park, or simply Hampden, is the oldest of all football stadiums that will be used at this Euro 2020 competition. It was opened in 1903, but as expected, the venue was renovated a few times including a major renovation in 1999.
A total of four matches will be played on this venue including one that will be part of Round of 16 phase. Unfortunately, Scotland didn’t make it to Euro 2020. However, fans will have a chance to enjoy the matches of other interesting teams like Croatia and the Czech Republic.
To be honest, these teams are not a good choice when it comes to betting because they can be very unpredictable especially during the initial stage.
- One of the oldest football stadiums in Europe
- Hampden Park is used by Queen’s Park Rangers and Scotland national football team
- Scotland has not qualified on Euro 2020
8. Aviva Stadium
Location: Dublin, Ireland
Matches: Group stage, and round of 16
Capacity: 51,700
Opened: 2010
Usual tenants: Ireland national football team
The Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland is often used by the rugby union of this country, but in the case of Euro 2020, it will be used for four football matches. This sporting venue was opened in 2010 which means that it’s a modern all-seater stadium with a unique design.
It has a capacity of 51,700 which is enough for the matches that will be played here during Euro 2020. Unfortunately, Ireland didn’t manage to qualify for the Euro 2020. Yet, there will be at least three good teams that will use this stadium during this competition including Poland and Sweden.
Sweden might be the favorite in these games, but if you are betting on matches played on this stadium, we would advise punters to be cautious.
- A relatively new football stadium in Ireland
- Aviva Stadium has a capacity of 51,700
- This stadium is used for rugby matches too
9. Krestovsky Stadium
Location: Saint Petersburg, Russia
Matches: Group stage and quarter-finals
Capacity: 68,134
Opened: 2017
Usual tenants: FC Zenit St. Petersburg, Russia national football team
Krestovsky Stadium has seen important football matches before even though it was opened in 2017. Namely, this is one of the football stadiums used during the FIFA World Cup in 2018. Now, it’s time for this stadium to host four matches that belong to the Euro 2020 competition.
Its capacity of almost 60,000 and ultra-modern design and construction promises an excellent experience to all visitors. Russia was quite strong at home during the qualifiers. They’ve lost just once to Belgium, a team they will meet on Krestovsky Stadium again.
So, if you are searching for good betting selections, we would advise skipping this duel. Russia vs Denmark and Russia vs Finland, on the other hand, look like good bets for those who know how to bet on goals.
- Krestovsky Stadium was opened in 2017
- It was part of FIFA World Cup 2018
- Russia national football team will play its group stage matches here
10. Johan Cruyff Arena

Named after the iconic Dutch player Cruyff, this football arena is home to AFC Ajax and the Netherlands national football team on selected matches. Of course, it will also be part of the Euro 2020 when it will host four matches in total.
This stadium saw record crowd in 2019 when Ajax met (and lost to) Real Madrid, but the upcoming Euro 2020 might give visitors a chance to break the record. There’s no doubt that home fans will boost the morale of Dutch players this summer.
The Netherlands will play three matches on this stadium and it seems that they are the favorites in all of these matches especially against Austria and Ukraine. As a team that likes to score many goals, it’s wise to use over goals or a straight winner.
- The home stadium of AFC Ajax
- The Netherlands will have a great advantage when playing on this stadium during Euro 2020
- This Euro 2020 might help football fans break the record attendance on this stadium
11. Puskas Arena

Capacity: 67,889
Opened: 2019
Usual tenants: Hungary national football team
The newest of the football stadiums that will host Euro 2020 teams is located in the capital city of Hungary. Named after the best Hungarian player of all time, this stadium has a capacity of 67,889.
It’s interesting that when the stadium was opened in November 2019 (Hungary vs Uruguay), it was almost completely filled with fans. It’s also good to know that the venue was built in the place of the ex-Ferenc Puskas Stadium.
Portugal vs France – this will probably be the most interesting match played here during the group stage. Football fans can expect a great match that’s difficult to predict. Given that it will be the last match for both teams, the excitement might be even greater if these teams have an equal number of points.
It might be better to consider betting on other matches if you are interested in so-called sure bets.

The match that has brought the highest number of fans to this stadium was played in 2012 when Romania played against the Netherlands as part of FIFA World Cup qualifiers (53,329 fans were present on this match).
Truth be told, the matches that will be played on this stadium during Euro 2020 are not among the most attractive ones, but you can rest assured that there will be many exciting moments. Ukraine vs Austria will be a good match between two teams that have similar qualities.
