ZURICH: On account of the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus), numerous international bodies and public health authorities have advised against the organisation of international events.
Concerns over the health and well-being of participants, as well as travel restrictions in many countries, have resulted in the cancellation or postponement of many such events in various parts of the world.
Mindful of this, and given the wish of FIFA to organise a Congress which all member associations are able to attend, the bureau of the FIFA Council has decided to reschedule the 70th FIFA Congress from Friday 5 June to Friday 18 September in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
In addition, the FIFA Council meeting planned for Friday 20 March has also been rescheduled to a date yet to be confirmed in June-July at the Home of FIFA in Zurich or via video conference.
