UEFA has formally announced the postponements of the Champions League and Europa League finals because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Women’s Champions League final has also been postponed.
The decision was widely expected given the scale of the pandemic, but was formally taken by a working group set up by UEFA in response to the outbreak.
The group, comprising of representatives of European clubs and leagues, made the decision in a video conference chaired by UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin.
No decision has yet been taken on alternative dates.
“The working group will analyse the options available,” read a UEFA statement. “The group has already begun its examination of the calendar. Announcements will be made in due course.”
The Champions League final was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday May 30 at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.
The Europa League final was meant to take place in the Polish city of Gdansk on Wednesday May 27, while the Women’s Champions League final was scheduled for Saturday May 24 at Viola Park in Vienna, Austria.
