the Main message of the UEFA tournaments must be played. There are two scenario. According to the first, domestic competitions need to be completed by August 3 before the restart of the Champions League and Europa League. Second, the domestic arena tournament resumed with a delay, it is possible to finish in August, in parallel with the competition.
Since the Championships of Belgium and Scotland in accordance with the recommendations of the local authorities was completed ahead of schedule, UEFA deemed it necessary to formulate criteria for the selection of clubs in European competition 2020/21 for different situations. In an ideal scenario, i.e. when the domestic season is finished, the participants of the European Cup will be identified naturally and in a familiar format. But UEFA is willing to force majeure. Most importantly, in the end, the clubs were to qualify for European competition by a sports principle.
what to do if the season still have to complete? By the way, the reason for this UEFA sees only two: the official order of the authorities prohibiting the holding of sports events and economic difficulties. In this case, a select team in the competition in accordance with the results of their performances on the domestic scene in season 2019/20. For difficult cases, the leagues should be the criteria for determining the final positions of the teams. Importantly, the mechanism was transparent, objective and non-discriminatory.
For example, in Russia “the locomotive” and “Krasnodar” with equal number of points share the second (direct access to the group stage of the Champions League) and third (Champions League qualifying) designated in the table of the Premier League. The first criterion, personal meetings, clubs equality: both matches ended in a draw 1:1. Next is “the highest number of wins in all matches”. And here the advantage “Loko”. So second place will have a “railroad”. However, UEFA reserves the right to choose independently. This may be the case if the domestic season ended for reasons not mentioned above, or violated the guidelines for the selection of clubs.
the Resumption of the European season is not the only issue that was raised at the UEFA Executive Committee. For example, it was decided to leave the championship title Euro 2020, despite the rescheduling of the tournament next summer.
“This decision will allow UEFA to retain the original concept of the tournament and to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European championship on football” – said in a statement on the official website of the organization. Recall that Euro 2020 should pass from June 11 to July 11, 2021 in 12 cities across 11 States. And finally, another point to consider is the concept of Euro 2020 as the tournament without garbage and waste. Given the huge number of already produced branded goods, they would have to destroy itlead new.
