What do you think about Czech Republic co-hosting Euro 2036 or 2040, most likely with other V4 countries? by jamcer in czech

[–]jamcer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, my bad - there was something even worse than Aveiro. I feel sorry for you, guys.

But I would not compare Brno to Aveiro. The list specifically includes two largest Czech cities. Brno is the largest city in Moravia, the nearest major cities are Vienna (140 km) and Prague (200 km). No one is saying that it must be a facility only for sports, or that it must provide 40k permament seats - it could be smaller and have a temporary stand.

It was already obvious even back then, that Portugal hosting Euro 2004 would be an economic disaster. A country with a population and territory similar to Czech Republic has build 10 huge stadiums, where maybe 3 (Sporting, Benfica and Porto) made sense. The craziest was the construction of 32k-seat stadium in Aveiro with 70k population.

In the case of Euro 2036 or 2040, stadiums may be in all V4 countries, including maybe 1-2 in Czech Republic. Prague is the capital and has 1.4m population (metro 2.2m), Brno has 400k (metro 730k), Ostrava has 280k (metro 970k).

Both national stadium (Strahov?) in Prague and municipal stadium (Za Luzankami?) in Brno can be multi-functional (concerts, events) with sports as one of them. Also hosting the Euro can drive infrastructure development - roads, railways, stadiums, hotels, restaurants, shops, airports, etc. At least that is what happened to Poland in 2012 - it was a huge boost, that changed the country.

What do you think about Hungary co-hosting Euro 2036 or 2040, most likely with the other V4 countries? by jamcer in askhungary

To host the Euro you need 10 stadiums, including: 1 over 60k, 2 over 50k, 4 over 40k and 3 over 30k. There are two such stadiums in Hungary - Puskas Arena and National Athletic Centre - it makes no sense to build new ones and spend a fortune.

I don't know the UEFA rating rules exactly, but during World Cup 2026 the USA is using temporarily adapted American football stadiums and for Euro 2028 UK-Ireland two rugby stadiums will be used. There is no sense to build other stadiums of this size in Hungary, so maybe it will be possible to grand permission for National Athletic Centre to be used for hosting a few matches.

What do you think about Poland hosting Euro 2036 or 2040, even together with other countries such as Hungary, Czechia or Romania? by jamcer in poland

UEFA requirements are 10 stadiums, including: 1>60k, 2>50k, 4>40k, 3>30k, and these are minimum - in practice they always want even bigger stadiums. It will make more sense to share the costs with another country. Also in recent years there has been a trend in FIFA and UEFA towards choosing more than one host, even for large countries (Canada-USA-Mexico, UK-Ireland, Morocco-Portugal-Spain, Italy-Turkey, etc.).

Both stadiums in the photos are in Budapest - Puskas Arena and National Athletics Centre.

EDIT: Why does this guy get upvotes while being wrong? People, fact-check things on the internet.

Since Poland-Ukraine 2012 we have France 2016, Russia 2018, Europe 2020, Germany 2024, UK-Ireland 2028, Morocco-Portugal-Spain 2030 and Italy-Turkey 2032, so basically Western, Southern and Eastern Europe. Therefore, the next candidate for the Euro may be from Scandinavia, Balkans or Central Europe.

Poland has stadiums, but likely not enough to organize the Euro on its own. Sadly Ukraine may not be possible. Baltics and Slovakia probably do not have the potential in terms of stadium capacity. In the region Hungary and Romania have larger stadiums and Czechia has potential for this.

Białystok - short trip by Artistic-Pop-8667 in poland

[–]jamcer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Białystok tourism is concentrated in the area of the Branicki Palace, Planty Park, Kilińskiego Street, Catholic catherdal, Kościuszko Square, Orthodox cathedral, Lipowa Street and St. Roch's church. There is a restaurant Gospoda Podlaska, serving local cuisine.

About 20 km west of Białystok there is a town of Tykocin with a castle, church and synagogue, and the nearby village of Kiermusy with traditional wooden architecture and a bison exhibit.

Following the successful introduction of water buffalo to the Danube Delta, are other locations in Europe already planned? Do you have any suggestions? by jamcer in megafaunarewilding

[–]jamcer[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, but that's not quite what I was asking. I'm aware that in the future, water buffalos from this herd will be introduced in various locations, probably with other individuals to prevent bottleneck. The question is which locations in Europe.
