Anyone tuning in to see Hungary take on Portugal in Euro 2020 will be confronted by the rare thrill of a capacity sporting crowd. No computer trickery, no holograms, no artificial soundtrack, just the fabulous Puskas Arena playing host to 61,000 football supporters as Cristiano Ronaldo and the European champions launch the defence of their title against the home nation in Budapest. An estimated 5.3 million out of a population of 9.8 million had been vaccinated by the start of Euro 2020 on June 11. Hungarians entering the Puskas Arena to see any of its four games at Euro 2020 will have to wear a wristband, which they can collect by showing their national immunity card prior the game. European champions Portugal are the visitors as Hungary host their first ever match in a major finals.
