UEFA makes formal proposal to delay Euro 2020 by one year due to coronavirus outbreak

The UEFA executive committee was due to make a formal decision in a separate consultation immediately after the members’ session.An busy day of back-to-back calls for UEFA began with a session based on club soccer’s challenges to complete the current season that is now on hold.

Still, it is far from clear when the public health crisis could ease enough for European soccer to emerge from its near-total shutdown. UEFA’s first call was with leaders of the European Club Association and European Leagues groups, plus the FIFPro players’ union. If resuming the season is possible, UEFA’s options to complete this season include playing the quarter-finals and semi-finals as single games instead of over two legs where each team has a home match.The Champions League final is scheduled for May 30 in Istanbul, but the Turkish city could also be asked host the semi-finals in a mini-tournament at a later date.

Globe_Sports At last... all these people saying postpone sports for a couple of weeks are not thinking straight. Give up on leagues until next season. That’s what’s going to happen
