A timely and relevant topic!

Yes, you're correct. On March 12, 2020, UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) announced that it was considering suspending the Champions League and Europa League due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The decision was made after a meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee, which was held via video conference. The committee discussed the ongoing situation and the potential risks associated with continuing the competitions.

In a statement, UEFA said: "The UEFA Executive Committee has today decided to suspend all UEFA club competitions until further notice. The decision was made in light of the ongoing developments and the need to protect the health and safety of all participants."

The suspension applies to all UEFA club competitions, including the Champions League, Europa League, and the UEFA Youth League. The decision also affects the UEFA European Football Championship (Euro 2020), which is scheduled to take place in June and July 2020.

The suspension is a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the virus and to protect the health and safety of players, coaches, officials, and fans. UEFA will continue to monitor the situation and will make further announcements regarding the resumption of the competitions when it is safe to do so.

It's worth noting that other sports organizations and leagues have also suspended their activities due to the pandemic, including the NBA, MLB, and the Premier League, among others.
