London favored for Euro 2020

The long wait to find out who will host the 2020 European Championship - the first time the event will be held in 13 countries simultaneously - ends on Friday when UEFA meets in Geneva, Switzerland.

European soccer's governing body will have to pick from 19 candidates, stretching from Israel and Spain to Azerbaijan and Wales.

But London's Wembley appears to be the odds-on favorite to host the semifinals and final after German officials hinted they might leave the 2020 event to England and focus on a bid to host Euro 2024 instead.
