Though Euro 2020 has seen matches being played across 11 different countries in Europe, there has been a sense of a home tournament for England supporters.

Gareth Southgate's Three Lions have played all of their Euro 2020 games at Wembley Stadium so far against group stage opponents Croatia, Scotland and Czech Republic.

And England will be at home again in the last 16 after finishing top of their group.

The Round of 16 tie at Euro 2020 between England vs Germany will be held at Wembley.

Under government restrictions to limit the spread of Covid, grounds in England and Scotland have been limited in the number of fans allowed into the stadium to watch games.

Glasgow's Hampden Park has been permitted to allow entry to 12,000 spectators for each match - at 25% of the stadium's total capacity.

Whereas in England, Wembley Stadium was permitted to allow 22,500 spectators into the ground for each match - at the same 25% of its overall capacity.

Though the government delayed the last step of lockdown easing, which would have seen a return to full capacity crowds, Wembley has received special permission to increase its numbers.

For the last 16 tie between England and Germany, around 40,000 spectators are allowed into Wembley to watch the game live as part of the government's trial programme.

The test programme has been designed to bring large crowds back to live events.

It also means that Wembley will be able to welcome 60,000 fans through its gates for each semi-final tie and the final of Euro 2020 - at 75% of its overall capacity.
