It was an honor to represent the Capital in this ceremony, and my presence here makes it even more determined to make sure that Bucharest will be ready to successfully meet the role to host Euro 2020. Recently, we have established two viewing and fan zone locations: the National Park and the Summer Theatre, both located in Sector 2. I wish success to the national team and I invite the supporters of Romania to show in 2019 , not only that they support their team but also that they know what it is like to be a welcoming host for those who will play here and for their fans,” Firea said, according to a Bucharest City Hall release.
