In a statement, the Football Association of Wales said it was “extremely disappointed” that its bid for four Euro 2020 games had been unsuccessful. The concept of taking Euro 2020 to different countries was devised to allow smaller countries, like Wales, to have a unique opportunity of being involved in staging a major tournament. Wales has never staged a Euro or World Cup final and this was its one and only chance of doing so. If England qualify they will play at least two group games at Wembley, just as Ireland and Scotland will get two home matches if they reach the tournament. The FA chief executive, Martin Glenn, said: “We are delighted to help Uefa by hosting the additional four matches at Wembley Stadium.
