Recently, a meeting took place via video conference with 55 representatives from their respective UEFA member associations. The subject was to seek a way for all competitions to be properly closed after this period of crisis.

"UEFA presented an update on the alternatives that are being considered by the two working groups that were created in mid-March. "It was strongly recommended that the national league and cup competitions end."- Communicated the organization.

As of now, UEFA rules out the total possibility of canceling football, according to the recommendations made by the appropriate associations, that is, it is necessary to continue the games in order to have a champion.

"Some special cases will be heard as soon as the guidelines for participation in European competitions are developed, in case a championship is canceled" - says the note.

Aleksander Ceferin, UEFA president, says the best thing to do is to have regular matches without fans than to not have them. For the time being, the manager remains optimistic about ending all competitions by the end of September.
