UEFA Deny Receiving Recommendation to Suspend Internationals Until 2022

UEFA have categorically denied that the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended to UEFA this week that all international competition be suspended until the end of 2021.


A UEFA spokesperson said; “This is not correct. WHO never recommended that football should no longer be played until the end of 2021."


UEFA have been discussing with their 55 member associations a range of issues that are affecting football including the restructuring of the football calendar as reported by Sky Sports News on Tuesday.

The WHO is acting as the lead United Nations (UN) body that advises a number of sporting federations during the Coronavirus pandemic. 


The WHO was instrumental in advising the IOC and Tokyo 2020 organisers to postpone the Olympic Games this summer for a year. It also provided advice for UEFA ahead of their decision to postpone EURO 2020 by 12 months.
