NYON – UEFA has begun a day of consultations with European soccer leaders with the postponement of the 2020 European Championship a possibility because of the coronavirus outbreak.
The UEFA executive committee will make decisions after hosting back-to-back video conference calls on Tuesday first with club soccer officials and then with Europe’s 55 national federations.
Euro 2020 is scheduled to start on June 12 and be hosted by 12 different countries from Ireland to Azerbaijan, and Russia to Italy.
A one-year postponement became UEFA’s favored option last week. It would clear several weeks in the congested calendar to complete domestic league and cup competitions, plus the Champions League and Europa League.
