The official emblem for the UEFA EURO 2020 features the Henri Delaunay Cup at the centre, surrounded by celebrating fans and Széchenyi Chain Bridge for Budapest. The tournament will be celebrating its 60th anniversary and, to mark this special edition, it will take place in 13 cities – each with their own signature bridge – in 13 countries across Europe.

The Széchenyi Chain Bridge is a chain bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Designed by English engineer William Tierney Clark and built by Scottish engineer Adam Clark, it was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary. It was opened in 1849. The lions at each of the abutments were carved in stone by the sculptor János Marschalkó and installed in 1852.
