Uefa postpones euro 2020 amid coronavirus

You're referring to the significant decision made by UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) in March 2020.

Yes, UEFA announced on March 17, 2020, that the 2020 European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2020, would be postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament was originally scheduled to take place from June 12 to July 12, 2020.

The decision was made after a series of discussions between UEFA, the European Club Association, and the European Leagues, as well as consultation with the International Football Association Board (IFAB) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

The postponement was necessary due to the rapid spread of the virus across Europe, which led to widespread travel restrictions, lockdowns, and social distancing measures. UEFA recognized that the tournament could not be held safely and fairly under the circumstances.

The rescheduled Euro 2020 took place from June 11 to July 11, 2021, with the same 24 teams and the same venues as originally planned. The tournament was a huge success, with fans returning to stadiums and the competition being played in front of a live audience for the first time since the pandemic began.

The postponement of Euro 2020 was a significant decision, but it ultimately allowed the tournament to be played safely and successfully, and it marked a major milestone in the return of international football after the pandemic.
