Eurostadium is a proposed stadium in Grimbergen, Belgium, just north of Brussels. It would have a capacity of 62,613. In 2015, the building deadline was set for 2019. It would host UEFA Euro 2020 matches and would become the home ground of the Belgian national football team and RSC Anderlecht. In contrast to the current stadium at the Heysel Plateau, the King Baudouin Stadium, it would no longer contain an athletic track.
In March 2015 the City of Brussels council chose the Ghelamco/BAM consortium as best candidate to finance, build and exploit the stadium. During the years that followed however, the project was plagued by numerous political delays. Anderlecht eventually pulled out of the project in February 2017. Because of the delays, the stadium may not be built in time for EURO 2020, or even at all.
