Unit 4: Managing an event Assignment 3
In this assignment I will be introducing the event management for the Summer’s
Euro Championship 2020 and how they have handled themselves in this rising pandemic
of Covid-
19. Therefore, it will be followed up by my own event which I have set up in the
College for Macmillan Charity. I will be talking about the experience, teamwork and the
overall profits we have made from this event followed by a justification and
conclusion.
P7- Explain in a situation where a large event couldn’t run or was to be postponed
due to a global crisis what decisions would you as an event organisation have to make
and what would you have to put into place. For example, business plan, aims and
objectives etc. You could use events such as e.g. Glastonbury, a theatre production,
Euros 2020 as examples. Furthermore, explain the specific management skills that you
would demonstrate in this situation too.
This Summer’s Euro 2020 Championship had been postponed due to Coronavirus
pandemic until 2021. The Postponement from Friday 11 June to 11th July 2021 is the
planned postponement. This is having been known to be the “the biggest crisis that
football has faced in history”. The FIFA president did repeatedly stress on the public
comments that the recognition of public health is far more urgent priority than the Euro
2020. Therefore, a conference call was held in the council bureau and the replacement
postponed date was set with also the suggestion of £8.3 donation for the WHO for
Covid 19 pandemic.
If I was an organiser for the Euro 2020, the main aim is for the public safety to be
dealt with any other tasks. I would have to join in the meeting with the other
organisers and representatives of the national football governing of the clubs,
leagues, and the players across the continent in order to plot their responses to the
Covid 19 crisis. Another objective is that every football division will have to be suspend
the matches or at least play in empty stadiums in order to counter the pandemic.
Therefore, another objective for the maintenance is for the fans who have bought the
existing tickets for the Euro 2020 will be
