coronavirus pandemic.
The Norwegian FA confirmed the news on their social media
accounts as they say the tournament which was to be held across 12 European
cities and was scheduled to begin on June 12, will now be played between June
11 and July 11, 2021.
"Uefa has
decided that the Euros should be postponed until 2021. It will be played from
11 June to 11 July next year."

The decision comes after UEFA held conference calls with its
55 member associations, the board of the European Club Association and the
board of the European Leagues.
The postponement provides a chance for European leagues that
have been suspended to now be completed.
