UEFA are expected to announce today that Euro 2020 will be pushed back to 2021 which will have a knock on-effect on other competitions, namely the Women’s Euros due to take pace next year.

The finals of the National League will also move to later in 2021.

The Women’s Euros (2021) and Men’s u21 Euros are both expected to then be pushed back to 2022.

UEFA are reportedly determined to make sure the Champions and Europa League are both played to a finish this season with the possibility of ties being played as one-off games – like in the FA Cup – rather than over two legs.
