Officially. UEFA Executive Committee cancels the 2020-2021 European Championships under 17
In accordance with previous decisions and on the basis of constant monitoring of the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UEFA Executive Committee, which includes UAF President Andrii Pavelko, decided after consultation with all 55 national associations, to cancel or postpone several youth and women's tournaments for the 2020/2021 national teams. The calendar and features of each tournament in a specific age category were taken into account.
Holding youth tournaments in the first months of 2021 is unrealistic given the current epidemiological situation in many parts of Europe. In particular, given the need for international travel of minors by commercial flights. In many countries, youth events are still suspended, and all national associations have agreed that if the competition resumes too early, it will be difficult for participants to gain and maintain form.
Based on this, the UEFA Executive Committee adopted the following decisions:
European Championships 2020/2021 among boys under 17 and among girls under 17:
- canceled;
European Championship 2020/2021 among girls under 19:
- mini-tournaments of the qualifying round will be held in April 2021;
- butt matches in the format of one match will be held in June 2021;
- The final tournament, as planned, will be held in July / August 2021 in Belarus;
European Championship 2020/2021 among boys under 19:
- mini-tournaments of the qualifying round will be held in March 2021;
- butt matches in the format of one match will take place in May / June 2021;
- The final tournament, as planned, will be held in July 2021 in Romania.
The UEFA Executive Committee has asked the UEFA administration to monitor the situation and inform in due time if further changes are needed.
