The Euro 2020 will however be delayed until next year – 11 June to 11 July 2021 – due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Regardless, vivo will be a presenting partner during the tournament’s opening and closing ceremonies. This tournament is set to be held across multiple cities in Europe for the first time in the competition’s history as a one-off celebration of its 60th birthday.
