The 16th edition of the Euro Cup takes place between June and July 2020. The Real Federación Española de Fútbol proposed that several matches of the competition be played in the field of San Mamés de Bilbao and have decided so.

To tackle this, the platform "Bilbao 2020 Euro Cup Hau Ez" was created in March and several presentations have been made throughout Euskal Herria to explain the consequences of the Euro Cup and to publicise the platform.

To talk about it, we have had Markos Lezaun, a member of the platform. He pointed out that, when we think about the conclusions, what comes directly to us may be that the Spanish National Team plays in Bilbao, or that the Basque Country Selekzioa cannot do so. But beyond being a national issue, he explained that this is an attack on capital in all areas.

The effect of the internationalist cause is because countries like Turkey or Israel are going to play. It will also affect the issue of gender, as Bilbao will be filled with football players and macho attitudes. In addition, there will be a rebound of repression and the city will be filled with fascists, such as those from Switzerland, Poland or those from the Spanish far-right.
