I'm looking forward to the feast of football that's coming to our screens over the next few weeks (with the BBC showing the Copa America as well as the Euros) but, although Wembley is the main venue for the delayed Euro 2020 tournament, the multi-host format and of course the pandemic mean this is very much a made for television spectacle.
The Rugby League World Cup this winter looks set to be the first post-lockdown major sports event that looks and feels 'normal' in the UK but in football terms it will Uefa Women's Euros 2022, hosted at 10 venues in England next July.
Old Trafford has the opener, Wembley the final and there matches in between in Manchester, Leigh, Rotherham, Sheffield, Milton Keynes, London, Brighton and Southampton.
I know already there are plenty of plans here in South Yorkshire for the tournament to have a lasting impact and the ticket information points to a family-friendly, accessible set of matches.
Tickets for group matches not involving England start at £10/£5 and even the Wembley final will have tickets available at £15/£7.50.
Creating a ticket account with Uefa before July will get you priority access before the final draw is made in late October.
Updated 21 December...Well the Rugby League didn't happen so my tickets for England v Greece at Bramall Lane have been rolled over to 2022 but I will be at the same venue for Netherlands against Sweden in the Euros.
Remaining tickets for the tournament go on general sale in February.
