Today, FIFA Council's Bureau announced the decision on the dates of the 70th Congress of organization and the three World Cups. 

The FIFA Confederations Working Group has carefully assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the situation in the world football and has developed recommendations for a number of sports events. According to them, the FIFA Council's Bureau made the decision approve the following new tournament dates subject to further monitoring of the situation:

- World Championship 2020 among girls WU-20 (Costa Rica / Panama) - January 20-February 6, 2021 (among players born from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2004);

- World Championship 2020 among girls WU-17 (India) - February 17-March 7, 2021 (among players born from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2005);

Further information on the dates of the tournaments under the auspices of FIFA in 2020 will be announced later.

It should be added that Ukraine WU-2020 didn't get to the 20 World Cup (WU-XNUMX) and did not break through to the final tournament of Euro-2019 (WU-19). The Ukrainian national futsal team also has no chance to perform at the 2020 World Cup after failing ti pass the qualification in February this year in Serbia. But the girls' national team of Ukraine (WU-17) in theory still has the opportunity to compete for a ticket to the 2020 World Cup. However, for this she first needs to go to Euro 2020, which is a decision of UEFA was postponed - as well as the elite round of qualifying, where Serhii Sapronov's team has to play.
