FootballFever | Uefa set to decide on possible Nations League venue switches The lingering impact of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic could lead to some Uefa Nations League matches being held at neutral grounds
The opening two rounds of Nations League games are scheduled for September 3-8 during the international break with all of the continent’s national teams in action.
With the health situation variable across the continent and restrictions changing, Uefa will be keen to avoid any circumstances where games are cancelled at the last minute. Currently, Uefa is insisting that all games in its competitions be played behind closed doors but there is pressure from some countries where the health situation has improved significantly to allow some supporters into matches.
The already complex situation of needing to finish the delayed 2019-20 Champions League and Europa League season, with mini-tournaments in Lisbon and Germany, is compounded by the start of qualification for next season’s campaigns.
