Uefa confident coronavirus outbreak will not derail euro 2020 plans

According to a recent report, UEFA is confident that the ongoing coronavirus outbreak will not derail their plans for the Euro 2020 tournament. Despite the ongoing pandemic, UEFA is optimistic that the tournament will go ahead as scheduled, with the organization stating that they are "fully prepared" to host the event.

UEFA has been working closely with the European football associations, national governments, and health authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of players, staff, and spectators. The organization has implemented various measures to mitigate the risk of transmission, including increased hygiene protocols, social distancing measures, and testing for players and staff.

UEFA's confidence in hosting the tournament comes as several European countries have reported a surge in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks. However, the organization believes that the measures they have put in place will be sufficient to ensure the tournament can be held safely.

"We are fully prepared to host the European Championship in 2021," said UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin. "We have been working closely with the European football associations, national governments, and health authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants and spectators. We are confident that we can host a successful and safe tournament."

The Euro 2020 tournament is scheduled to take place from June 11 to July 11, 2021, across 11 cities in Europe. The tournament is expected to feature 24 teams and will be played in a unique format, with matches being held in multiple cities across the continent.

While UEFA is confident that the tournament will go ahead as planned, the organization is also prepared to adapt to any changes that may be necessary due to the ongoing pandemic.
