Legal aspects surrounding Scotland’s bid to host games at Euro 2020 “may have to be re-assessed” if the country becomes independent following next week’s referendum, according to yesterday’s Uefa report into bidding countries.

The Scottish FA has submitted a bid for Glasgow’s Hampden Park to host three group games and one match in the knock-out rounds of the tournament, which is being held in 13 countries around Europe.

Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium is also bidding for group matches, while Wembley in London is the favourite to host the final with only one rival, Munich.

Uefa’s executive committee will vote on the host cities on September 19, the day after the Scottish referendum.

The evaluation report carried out by Uefa into the bids says of the Scottish bid: “Scotland being part of the UK, the legal situation is mostly — but not entirely — identical to that of England and Wales.

“The situation may have to be re-assessed should Scotland become independent of the UK following the referendum.”

The evaluation report also criticised the commercial part of the Scotland bid.

“The commercial sector of the bid is inadequate, as the information provided lacks clarity. The amount of advertising space offered is vague.”

Glasgow’s transport links and hotel accommodation were praised, however, as were plans for fan zones.

Cardiff’s bid received a generally favourable evaluation report but inspectors point out that fans would have to use airports in Bristol or even London.

The evaluation of the FA’s Wembley Stadium bid was generally positive and similar to that received by Munich, although the proposed fan zone outside of central London is rated as only “satisfactory” and plans for fan zones in other English cities as “very weak.”

Wembley was regarded as the favourite after the German FA announced it may not push hard for Munich in order to concentrate on a bid to host the entire Euro 2024 tournament.

Uefa’s report also raises concerns about the political situation in Israel and Russia.
