Munich's Allianz Arena has been confirmed as one of 11 venues for the delayed UEFA Euro 2020 this summer, with Dublin losing its games to St Petersburg and London, and Bilbao being replaced as a host city by Seville.

The Allianz Arena, home to record champions Bayern Munich, will stage all three of Germany's group fixtures in June, with a minimum of 14,500 fans due to be in attendance.

Germany face world champions France on 15 June, defending European champions Portugal on 19 June and Hungary on 23 June, all in familiar surroundings for many of Joachim Löw's squad, with Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Niklas Süle, Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane and Leon Goretzka all expected to be involved.

Three Germany games will be played at the Allianz Arena, plus one quarter-final tie.

A quarter-final tie scheduled to take place in the Bavarian capital on 2 July has also been confirmed by UEFA on Friday.

Meanwhile, the four games originally scheduled to take place in Bilbao have been moved to Seville, while Dublin will no longer be hosting three group games and a last-16 match, as originally planned. The three Group E games will be played in St. Petersburg instead, with the last-16 fixture crossing the Irish Sea to be staged at Wembley.

Euro 2020 gets underway on June 11 with Italy facing Turkey in Rome's Stadio Olimpico.

Germany's squad for the tournament will be confirmed on 1 June, with friendly games against Denmark (2 June) and Latvia (7 June) on the agenda before France visit Munich.
