Hungary and Russia have filed single bids for the right to stage the showpiece but face stiff competition from five joint ventures.

Scotland/Republic of Ireland, Austria/Switzerland, Bosnia-Herzegovina/Croatia, Greece/Turkey, and a Nordic bid featuring Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden are all in the running.

UEFA will make inspection visits to all bidding countries between August and October this year.
