UEFA announced today following a conference call that Euro 2020 is postponed from June this summer to June 11-July 11 2021 instead.
“Europe is facing its biggest challenge in a generation, one which is impacting all levels of society including football,” said ECA Chairman and UEFA Executive Committee member Agnelli.
“The challenge to our game is massive and as leaders we have a responsibility to do all we can to protect its long-term well-being by mitigating the impact of the virus.
“Today’s decision to postpone the UEFA EURO 2020 is testament to the unity and collaborative efforts of professional game stakeholders to engage in collective decision-making in the best interest of the game.
“The focus now will be to come up with solutions to conclude the 2019-20 club season in the most practical manner and, beyond that, ensure football, like society as a whole, returns as quickly as possible to its natural form and rhythm.”
