Belgium’s proposed Brussels-based stadium for Euro 2020 has "landed in the middle of another storm of controversy" after the city of Brussels gave the projected building site of the stadium in leasehold to building consortium Ghelamco for a "symbolic euro," according to Samindra Kunti of INSIDE WORLD FOOTBALL. On Sept. 19, 2014, UEFA selected 13 venues to host Euro 2020. Brussels was "chosen ahead of Cardiff to host group matches and a round of 16 match." With the King Baudouin Stadium outdated, Belgium proposed the "Eurostadium," a "state-of-the-art all-seater stadium" on the outskirts of Brussels as the venue for its Euro 2020 bid with a construction delivery date in '19. The City of Brussels council "proceeded to choose the Ghelamco consortium as the candidate to finance, build and exploit the stadium." The stadium will host matches of Belgium's national team and Belgian Pro League side RSC Anderlecht. Club Brugge opposed the Eurostadium, "citing disproportional benefits for Anderlecht." Ghelamco will be "allowed to build office space, hotels and restaurants on the site." Ruling far-right party N-VA has "demanded transparency" from Brussels Minister Guy Vanhengel and alderman Alain Courtois. It is "not the first time the Eurostadium has hit a snag." The Euro 2020 stadium "may face delays in construction after a negative initial environmental report cast doubt over the viability of the venue." The projected price tag of €432M ($459M) for taxpayers "is also raising eyebrows, with the stadium facing opposition over public funding" (INSIDE WORLD FOOTBALL, 11/30).
