Announcement of previous UEFA match extension
China News Service, April 17 (Beijing time), according to British media reports, UEFA hopes to end this season's European war at the end of August at the latest.
According to the original schedule, the Champions League final this season should be held on May 30 at Istanbul Ataturk Olympic Stadium. However, the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia was in full swing in Europe, the leagues of various countries were basically suspended, and the European war was forced to be postponed.
The report said that UEFA has two sets of alternative plans, one is to restart the Champions League according to the normal home and away schedule in July and August, and the second is to conduct a single game of small knockout in August. UEFA hope to hold the UEFA Cup final at the latest on August 26, and the UEFA Champions League final at the latest on August 29.
In addition, the Spanish media "Aspen" wrote that the Champions League next season is expected to be held on October 20. The Champions League usually starts the group stage in September, but due to the delay of this season's schedule, it will inevitably lead to the start of the next season's league. The Champions League group stage will also be delayed until the kick-off on October 20.
Allegedly, the finals of the Champions League and the Europa League will remain unchanged. The UEFA Champions League final was held at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul; the UEFA Cup final was held at the Energy Stadium in Gdansk, Poland. (Finish)
