Hosting Euro 2020 could make us happier, not richer

Yesterday, the football associations of Ireland, Scotland and Wales expressed an interest in hosting the 2020 European Championships.

Despite a failed bid to host this summer’s European Championships nearly ten years ago, the Irish and Scottish Association haven’t been deterred and with the help of Wales, hope to bring Euro 2020 to the British Isles in eight years’ time.

If successful the good news would be probable automatic qualification, to what would by then be, an expanded twenty-four team competition.
