This summer's European Championship has been postponed until next year as the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc on the footballing calendar.
UEFA convened a meeting on Tuesday with leading lights from the continent's various authorities - and the international tournament was high on the agenda.
Domestic leagues around Europe are currently postponed and face a race against time to conclude their current seasons, with many believing the postponement of Euro 2020 would allow them the freedom to delay their fixtures until the summer.
And UEFA are understood to have agreed to postpone the international tournament, with a new date set for next summer, according to the Norwegian FA.
A statement from the Norwegian FA read: "UEFA has decided that the European Championship is postponed to 2021. It will be played from 11 June to 11 July next year. More information coming."
UEFA, who is yet to confirm the decision, has proposed that the June 12-July 12 tournament to be held in 12 countries be put back to June 11-July 11 next year to give the suspended domestic leagues time to be completed.
The proposal was agreed during a video conference with all 55 of its affiliated national football federations and representatives of clubs, leagues and players.
The decision will go before UEFA's Executive Committee for final sign-off later on Tuesday.
