I have never heard of anyone ever been denied entry to a game at a Euros or World Cup because the name on their passport doesn't match the name on their ticket.   Now even allowing for the above a new condition was inserted in the latest email "Should you or your guests no longer be able to attend UEFA EURO 2020™ for medical reasons, including COVID-19, you will have the option to transfer the ticket(s) to friends or family members." So in June if Paddy thinks he might have COVID he can pass his ticket on to his mate Piotr with UEFA's blessing.  Reading between the lines I think UEFA want tickets back.  Reduced capacity is the likely outcome.

Olympics is very unpopular in Japan right now, big political hot potato, usual debate of it being a waste of money. There's a load of new costs with delaying it a year

One country with reduced fans. Country with the infrastructure.....

The UK would be in the best position to host it given they'll have the bulk of the population vaccinated by the end of spring or at least have all those deemed vulnerable done and dusted in about 6 weeks time. Fatalities will very low by the time uefa sit down in March to make a decision. They are way ahead of other potential single country host candidates in Europe and as Shedite said would be eager to host it following Brexit.

Wouldn't rule Russia out, they were the ones mentioned first and are also flying through their vaccinations as of late

Ffs, why could they not have done this last week? I had a ticket for the R16 match at Wembley which I have given up for refund. I would have held onto it if they had made this clear in the first place.  You can cancel you return till the 29th i think
