Women’s Euro 2021 in England postponed by a year, says Danish FA | Football

The women’s European Championship, which was due to be held in England next summer, has been postponed until 2022, according to the Danish FA.

The move was widely anticipated after Uefa moved the men’s Euros from this summer to next. The International Olympic Committee pushing back the Tokyo Games, in which senior women’s international teams will compete, will have also been a consideration.

Uefa met to discuss the different options for this season’s competitions as well as its international tournaments on Wednesday and has postponed all its games until further notice, including the men’s and women’s Euro play-offs that were due to be held in June.

Last week the Norwegian FA announced that the men’s Euro tournament had been moved before Uefa’s announcement and on Wednesday the Danish FA released a statement saying: “The women’s Euros and and the [men’s] Under-21 European Championship is moved from the summer of 2021 to the following summer because of the fact that both the Olympics and the men’s Euros will take place in the summer of 2021.”
