The postponement of Euro 2020 may already have been decided after Uefa cancelled its hotel bookings for Copenhagen, which is one of the host cities.
The DGI-Byen Hotel in the Danish capital informed Reuters over the phone that Uefa had cancelled its rooms a little over a week ago.
While the Marinelyst, which is usually the team base for the Danish national team, said in an e-mail that Uefa had cancelled the rooms booked on behalf of Age Hareideside.
Uefa is meeting with its member federations on Tuesday, where a postponement of Euro 2020 to 2021 is expected following the widespread suspension of Europe's domestic leagues due to the coronavirus.
