UEFA announced the inevitable on its meeting on Tuesday about Coronavirus; The Euro 2020 has been moved to 2021. But what about the Women’s Euro 2021?

According to chief of sports reporter for The Times Martyn Ziegler, women's soccer fans will have to wait until the Summer to find out when the Women's Euro 2021 will take place.

The Women's Euro 2021 was scheduled to be played from July 7 through August 1. But it seems highly unlikely that the competition will be played in the summer of 2021 given UEFA's proposed dates for the Euro 2020 that range from June 11, 2021, through July 11.

"Decisions on dates for other UEFA competitions, whether club or national team for men or women, will be taken and announced in due course," is how UEFA ended its statement.

It is now a waiting game for lovers of the women's game. UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin did mention women's European soccer in his statement.

"Moving EURO 2020 comes at a huge cost for UEFA but we will do our best to ensure that the vital funding for grassroots, women's football and the development of the game in our 55 countries is not affected," Ceferin said.

Also, all UEFA competitions and matches for clubs and international teams have been postponed until further notice as expected. This includes the remainder of women's domestic and European competitions, as well as international friendlies.

The women's soccer community was left in the dark and, as always, was quick to speak their mind on Twitter.

Given the new proposed end date for the Men's Euro on July 11, 2021, it would overlap the Women's Euro, which is supposed to start on July 7. The Girls on the Ball Twitter account asked the question that everyone is asking.

Having the Women's Euro play during and after the Men's Euro would not be the best option logistically given.

UEFA will assess all these questions and date clashes with time and get back to women's soccer fans in the summer.

Reactions

The backlash began even before UEFA's official announcement. We can all agree that Olivia would be a great WoSo leader. She is assembling the army early.

 

Many share the same thought as Dani's.

Some England fans are welcoming the news with open arms. Not officially confirmed yet, though.

And yes, Hope. Today has felt like sitting at a blackjack table in a casino for the first time. Madness.
