The Principality Stadium could be the venue of four games at EURO 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CARDIFF Council will decide on Thursday whether to fast track the decision to re-apply to host games in the 2020 European Football Championships.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The matches would be played at the Principality Stadium, which hosted last year\u2019s Champions League Final.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The European Championships is the third biggest sporting event in the world, behind the Summer Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To celebrate its 60th anniversary, UEFA decided to spread the tournament around 13 cities across Europe instead of having one host country so more people had the chance of seeing matches\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">near their home.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Football Association of Wales (FAW), Cardiff Council, Welsh Government and the Principality Stadium applied in 2014 to be one of the host cities but narrowly missed out.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, on September 20 EURO 2020 organisers voiced concerns over whether a stadium in Brussels, \u00a0due to host three group games and one in the round of 16, would be built in time. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">UEFA decided Brussels would be replaced by Stockholm, Wembley or Cardiff,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">because they had all applied to be a host city back in 2014 and had experience hosting big games.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In order to meet UEFA\u2019s deadline FAW need to have reviewed the original bid, confirmed that all 18 guarantees and all original legal agreements &#8211; such as the Host City Agreement &#8211; were still valid and resubmitted the original or revised bid by November 3.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hosting EURO 2020 does not grant a country automatic qualification, but if Wales were to qualify they would play at least two of their three group games in Cardiff, giving\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chris Coleman\u2019s side a massive home advantage.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cardiff council hosting the
