Bilbao and Dublin lose Euro 2020 hosting rights as matches moved to Seville, St Petersburg and London

The Spanish and Irish cities have been stripped of their fixtures because they cannot guarantee fans will be allowed in for games

Bilbao and Dublin have been stripped of their right to host matches at Euro 2020 because of concerns over whether fans would be allowed into stadia, UEFA has confirmed.

The games in the Spanish and Irish cities have been moved as coronavirus restrictions in their areas may prevent spectators being able to attend matches at the rearranged tournament in the summer.

As a result, the games have been moved to Seville from Bilbao, while St Petersburg and London will share the fixtures which were supposed to be played in Dublin.
