This means that the players born in 1997 can participate in a championship next year in Tokyo. The Japanese organizer and the IOC are working on the hypothesis that the championship will be decided at the end of July / August next year and hope to reach a decision within four weeks.
The deferred European Championships and Copa America will be played June 11 to July 11 next year.
The regulations say that a maximum of 23 years can be reached in the year when the Olympic Games are decided. Then each country may have three senior players.
It is the will of 33 international sports federations to be reconciled. The Olympics are 33 World Cups overall.
- This would ensure that those players who helped their nation qualify for the Games this year but who are otherwise not eligible for the tournament next year due to age restrictions, have an opportunity to fulfill their dreams of representing their country and becoming an Olympian, says Australian Football Association chairman James Johnson according to the AP.
Sweden did not qualify for the tournament.
