“Moving Euro 2020 comes at a huge cost for UEFA,” Ceferin said in a statement. Still, taking Euro 2020 off the calendar clears valuable weeks in which domestic leagues and cups, and the Champions League and Europa League, could be completed. Euro 2020 was scheduled to start on June 12 in 12 countries from Ireland to Azerbaijan, and Russia to Italy. Also, 16 of UEFA’s members are involved in the Euro 2020 playoffs, which were scheduled to be played on March 26 and 31. Postponing Euro 2020 has also created a backlog of national team games in a packed calendar managed by FIFA.
