FIFA wants all matches in March and April postponed

FIFA has asked that all international matches scheduled for March and April be postponed.

Slovakia had already requested that their Euro 2020 playoff with the Republic of Ireland be postponed with travel restrictions imposed because of Covid-19.

Bosnia-Herzegovina had also made a request for their playoff semi final with Northern Ireland be called off.

UEFA will decide the fates of the playoffs and Euro 2020 at a special video-conference on Tuesday.

But world football’s governing body wants all international games held back until they “can take place in a safe and secure environment” for both players and supporters.
