EURO 2020: Virus poses financial, logistical challenges

The Hindu  

A tournament intended to be a celebration of European football will instead reflect many of the uncertainties that have beset the sport during the coronavirus pandemic. “It actually makes it harder, because you have more travel, less recovery etc.,” said Jonas Baer-Hoffmann, the general secretary of world players’ union FIFPRO. READ | “We have seen that travel is a substantial risk factor to any of the COVID protocols that professional sports have undertaken.” At least the number of UEFA member associations staging games was dwindled down from 13 to 11 after Belgium was cut before the pandemic and Dublin lost its games more recently because Ireland isn't able to guarantee having fans. The event should still be the first chance for the widespread return of fans to stadiums around Europe since March 2020, assuming new restrictions aren’t imposed. “The whole football ecosystem, at professional, amateur and youth levels, has been heavily disrupted by the pandemic,” Ceferin wrote in UEFA's recent report assessing the state of European football finances.
