EURO 2020 gets under way today – and what was already going to be a unique tournament will be notable for several other reasons too.
The football competition keeps its name even though it was delayed for a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will now run from June 11 to July 11, 2021 across 11 countries, separated by 4 766km. It is a first major tournament for Scotland since 1998, while England could have home advantage in nearly every game and Wales are at their second Euros in a row.
England and Scotland, who are in the same group, are two of the host countries in the first European Championship to be held across the continent.
They will be the first major tournament games held in the UK since Euro 1996.

With Wembley hosting group games, a last-16 tie, both semi-finals and the final, England would only have to play one match abroad if they win their group and go all the way.
Wales are also among the 24 teams, although they do not host any games.
The tournament kicks off with Italy v Turkey in Rome today, (20:00hrs BST) and concludes with the final at Wembley in London on Sunday, July 11.
The other host cities are Glasgow, Amsterdam, Baku, Bucharest, Budapest, Copenhagen, Munich, Rome and Seville.
England’s three group games will be at Wembley with Scotland playing their other two matches at Hampden Park. Wales play theirs in Baku in Azerbaijan and Rome in Italy.
The tournament opener and opening games of England, Scotland and Wales are exclusively live on BBC, and all 51 matches in the tournament are available on Radio 5 Live. (BBC Sport)
