After Euro 2020 – What other sport is taking place in Hungary this year

This June, Hungary has hosted several games in Europe 2020, the first time the European Championship has been held in the country since it began back in 1960. Having qualified for the competition through the play-offs, Hungary also had the privilege of playing two home games, the first against Portugal and the second against France.

The Puskás Aréna in the 14th district of the nation’s capital saw the largest crowds in the tournament with the Hungarian government not placing restrictions on its capacity as has been the case elsewhere on the continent.

Group F, in which Hungary was placed, is one of the toughest of the tournament. This meant that Marco Rossi’s men had to face off against Germany, France, and Portugal, teams that have been the bookies’ favourites for much of the last year.

Although Hungary’s role as host ends after the round of 16 games, Euro 2020 will continue well into July. With the competition hotting up, many fans are placing bets on the teams they think will win the tournament. The savvier ones are also taking advantage of bookmaker promotions to help them get more from their wagers. Sites like OLBG are a big help for these fans as they collate all the promotions together in one place, for example, OLBG.com’s page of betting offers has around almost forty different ones listed.

After the tournament leaves the country, that doesn’t mean Hungarian sport will be over for the summer. There will still be plenty of action taking place within its borders, including these major events.

Billie Jean King Cup Finals

The Billie Jean King Cup is one of the biggest competitions in women’s tennis. Unlike most tournaments, it’s a team event with players competing for their respective nations. Formally known as the “World Group”, the Finals will be held at the indoor clay courts in the László Papp Budapest Sports Arena.

Several of the most successful tennis-playing nations will be taking part, including Czechia, Russia, Slovakia, Belarus, France, the United States, and Australia.

The Billie Jean King Cup Finals are scheduled to begin on 1st July and last for 11 days.
