European championship logo revealed

New UEFA president Aleksandar Ceferin revealed the logo of EURO 2020.
It is showing multicolored silhouettes of fans how they stand on both sides of the trophy on the green bridge, which shows connection between hosting countries. For the first time the European championship will be played in multiple countries as its marking the sixtieth anniversary of the event. In total 13 cities will share the hosting: Amsterdam (Netherlands), Baku (Azerbaijan), Bilbao (Spain), Brussels (Belgium), Bucharest (Romania), Budapest (Hungary), Copenhagen (Denmark), Dublin (Republic of Ireland), Glasgow (Scotland), Munich (Germany), Rome (Italy) and St. Petersburg (Russia). Semifinals and final matches will be played in London's (England) Wembley stadium.
As there will be no automatic qualifying places, all 55 European member nations will start from square one i.e. playing elimination games, fighting to enter last 24 teams for the finals. The (longest) qualifying battle will begin in 2018 and will last 2 years.
