Italian fa to request postponement of euro 2020
You're referring to the Italian Football Federation's (FIGC) request to UEFA to postpone the Euro 2020 tournament.
On March 12, 2020, the FIGC officially requested UEFA to postpone the tournament, which was scheduled to take place from June 12 to July 12, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement, the FIGC cited the following reasons for their request:
- "The current situation is unprecedented and unpredictable, and it is impossible to guarantee the safety and health of players, staff, and fans."
- "The pandemic is spreading rapidly, and it is essential to prioritize the well-being of everyone involved in the tournament."
- "Postponing the tournament would allow for a more controlled and safe environment for the competition to take place."
The FIGC also expressed their willingness to work with UEFA to find a solution that would allow the tournament to be rescheduled for a later date.
UEFA ultimately decided to postpone the tournament by one year, with the new dates set from June 11 to July 11, 2021.
