Euro 2020: England and Scotland set for final group games
England fans have reacted on Twitter after UEFA announced that Wembley Stadium will host 60,000 fans for the Euro 2020 semi-finals and final in July. There had been concerns that the latter stages were at risk of being played elsewhere, but London is now the confirmed location.
Recent reports suggested that Hungarian capital Budapest could replace London as the host city for the Euro 2020 semi-finals and final.
Meanwhile, Italy also put forward the Stadio Olimpico in Rome - another host city - as a possible final venue amid concerns about COVID-19 restrictions in England.
However, UEFA have reached an agreement with the UK Government to host the tournament's anticipated climax at Wembley.
A 75 per cent capacity crowd will be present to potentially watch England lift their first major trophy since 1966.

Public health remains the main priority of the plans, and talks continue over additional guests and fans from abroad for the final three games of the tournament.
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has thanked the UK Government for allowing the final stages of Euro 2020 to take place at Wembley.
He said: "This tournament has been a beacon of hope to reassure people that we are returning to a more normal way of life, and this is a further step along that road.
"I am grateful to the Prime Minister and the UK government for their hard work in finalising these arrangements with us, to make the tournament final stages a great success in Wembley."
