Uefa has revealed the Women’s European Championships 2021 is set to be pushed back a year to 2022 after admitting postponing the finals is a “likely option”.
England had been selected to host the tournament, with the tournament provisionally penciled in between June 7 and August 1.
But the competition is set to be moved following the recent decisions to push the men’s Euro 2020 tournament and the Tokyo Olympic Games back to the summer of 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Danish football federation said agreement had been reached on a decision to move the Women’s Euro back to 2022 during a video conference call organised by Uefa with its member national associations on Wednesday.

“The summer of 2022 is indeed a likely option but Uefa will be looking to maximise the benefits to the development and profile of women’s football and of the Under-21 when making decisions on the timings for these competitions.”
