Restarting leagues across Europe is still an unknown but a definitive decision to cancel Euro 2020 is expected
Uefa called the video conference last Thursday forTuesday to discuss football’s response to the coronavirus crisis, with all 55 of Europe’s football associations, the European Club Association, European Leagues and the international players’ union Fifpro. There is expected to be more than one meeting, probably with the FAs holding theirs separately. There was some criticism when the video-conferences were announced that no supporters organisations are included, although the postponement of matches clearly affects fans in huge numbers. Ronan Evain, executive director of Football Supporters Europe, a collective of European fans’ groups that works with Uefa on many issues, said, though, that dialogue has continued with senior management at Uefa, including over the coronavirus response. Evain said he had told Uefa that the clear consensus from supporters is to recognise the urgency of the public health crisis, and necessity for suspension of the games, however long it takes, but to seek clear and well-communicated decisions.
