UEFA’s Executive committee has announced all competitions will remain postponed until further notice due to the coronavirus pandemic.
European football’s governing body confirmed the news on Wednesday afternoon following a meeting with its 55 member associations to discuss strategy in the wake of the global health crisis.
Deadlines related to the 2020/21 UEFA club competitions are also postponed, with UEFA stating it would issue further advice in due course.
The executive committee has also decided to suspend certain aspects of club licensing provisions due to the ‘increasing uncertainty generated by the ongoing extraordinary events’.
These include the requirement to provide the preparation and assessment of clubs’ future financial information.
“The executive committee reiterated its full commitment to club licensing and financial fair play and agreed that the current exceptional circumstances necessitate some specific interventions to facilitate the work of member associations and clubs,” the UEFA statement read.
As well as the play-off matches – which were due to feature Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Scotland – it means the postponement of Women’s Euro qualifying matches.
