UEFA Also discussed allowing fans to attend
UEFA reported on Thursday, after a meeting with the 55 national federations, that they are studying the possibility of moving some games to neutral venues if the COVID-19 outbreak forces them to do so in the future.
Meanwhile, they noted that they will further review the situation in mid-August to determine if they can modify their decision for some games to be played behind closed doors.
“For club competitions, the discussion focused on the upcoming qualification rounds and a detailed explanation was given of the recently published Annex I to the 2020/21 UCL/UEL competition regulations which deals with travel restrictions and positive tests for COVID-19, which may have an impact on the continuity of the competitions,” UEFA‘s press release read.
“It was stressed that, in order to comply with travel restrictions and quarantine requirements issued by authorities, some matches may need to be moved to neutral countries/stadia and the detailed scenarios were presented.
“In this respect, UEFA, thanks four associations for their cooperation [Poland, Hungary, Greece and Cyprus], which means that it has been able to provide neutral venue hubs, with these countries making some of their stadiums available on the scheduled match dates and offering a travelling corridor to the teams to come and play the match without restrictions.
“Both UEFA and national associations are aware of the importance of allowing fans back into stadia, but the situation in Europe is very fragmented.
“UEFA is constantly monitoring the evolution of the regulatory landscape in the different countries and a review of the situation is planned around mid-August to see if the current decision of playing all matches behind closed doors can be at least partially changed.”
Finally, the federations also discussed the future of the youth national team tournaments, including proposals to move most of these activities to spring 2021.
A new meeting is planned at the end of the month to resolve some of the pending issues.
