You're referring to the recent news!
Yes, UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) has indeed postponed the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament, which was originally scheduled to take place from June 12 to July 12, 2020. The decision was made on March 17, 2020, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The new dates for the tournament are June 11 to July 11, 2021. The postponement was made to ensure the safety and well-being of players, officials, and fans, as well as to minimize the risk of the virus spreading during the tournament.
The postponement also means that the tournament will now take place during the summer of 2021, instead of the traditional mid-year schedule. This change is expected to have a significant impact on the scheduling of other international football tournaments and club competitions.
It's worth noting that the postponement was made in consultation with the European Club Association, the European Leagues, and the International Football Association Board (IFAB), among other stakeholders.
The UEFA Euro 2020 tournament is one of the most prestigious international football competitions, featuring 24 national teams from Europe. The tournament is expected to be a major event, with matches taking place across 11 cities in Europe.
