The European Championship has been moved to the summer of 2021 as UEFA made “the biggest sacrifice” to tackle the disruption to the football calendar caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
A meeting convened by European football’s governing body agreed to switch the tournament in order to find a way to break the logjam of fixtures created by the spread of the virus throughout the continent.
The new dates proposed are June 11 to July 11, 2021, and the move appears to have met with the approval of national associations across the continent.
UEFA confirmed the Euro 2020 play-offs, due to be played this month, would now take place in the June international window.
The final Hillsborough memorial service, which was due to take place at Anfield on April 15, has also been postponed.
In golf, the entire 2020 schedule and season for the third-tier PGA EuroPro Tour, which incorporates all events and Q School, has been cancelled.
