Italy, which is among the host countries of Euro 2020, does not hide its intentions: Tuesday, it will ask UEFA to postpone the competition outright, in an increasingly tense epidemic context. “The postponement of the Euro is the idea to follow. Tomorrow we will ask UEFA for an act of responsibility and all federations to contribute to a process which aims to protect the health of athletes, supporters and all citizens, "the president of the Italian federation, Gabriele Gravina.
The postponement track is real
About the possibility of a postponement to this winter rather than next summer, the Italian leader said that there was "no assumption in this direction". “These are ideas, reflections, which require a little attention. Tomorrow we will discuss, we will all be there and I hope that the most responsible decision will be taken. Even if it is irrelevant to think that there is an ideal solution today, "he added.
UEFA is organizing a crisis meeting on Tuesday at 1 p.m. to discuss the future of the Euro, scheduled for 12 June to 12 July in 12 different countries. And the hypothesis of a postponement of the tournament, a first in 60 years of existence and fifteen editions disputed to date, is no longer a taboo.
