“Based on a constant monitoring of the development of the pandemic ... the Uefa Executive Committee decided after consultation with all 55 member associations to cancel and/or postpone some of the 2020/21 youth national team competitions,” European soccer’s governing body said in a statement.


Uefa also said the men’s U-19 Euros would go ahead in July in Romania, with the women’s event set to take place in July-August in Belarus.
