DBasia.news – In addition to delaying the European Cup for one year, UEFA also officiated all competitions below them, the club and the national team, including the Champions League and Europa League until further notice.
“The European Cup 2020 play-offs and friendly international matches, which were originally scheduled for the end of March, will now be played in an international window in early June, depending on the situation review,” wrote the UEFA statement.
Although UEFA did not mention how long the postponement period would be, European media specifically predicted the Champions League would resume on June 27, depending on the situation.
Indeed the Champions League final this season is scheduled for May 30 in Turkey Istanbul, but the corona virus outbreak has forced UEFA to postpone their main competition.
The corona virus crisis has destroyed global sporting calendars, including domestic, European and international competitions.
“A working group has been formed with the participation of leagues and club representatives to think of a calendar solution that will allow this season to end and other consequences of decisions made today,” continued the statement from UEFA.
UEFA are still formulating the format for the remaining Champions League and Europa League this season.
