Fotbolls-EM uppskjutet till 2021

Sommarens fotbolls-EM skjuts upp till 2021. Det var beskedet som kom från UEFA efter att ha haft ett möte under tisdagen.

Det blev som många hade befarat. Under tisdagen bestämde UEFA att skjuta upp sommarens EM-turnering på grund av coronaviruset.

Turneringen kommer att spelas mellan 11 juni till 11 juli 2021.

”UEFA today announced the postponement of its flagship national team competition, UEFA EURO 2020, due to be played in June and July this year. The health of all those involved in the game is the priority, as well as to avoid placing any unnecessary pressure on national public services involved in staging matches. The move will help all domestic competitions, currently on hold due to the COVID-19 emergency, to be completed.

All UEFA competitions and matches (including friendlies) for clubs and national teams for both men and women have been put on hold until further notice. The UEFA EURO 2020 play-off matches and international friendlies, scheduled for the end of March, will now be played in the international window at the start of June, subject to a review of the situation.”
