UEFA have published guidelines which have been signed and recognised by the 55 associations as they look to move forward following the shutdown.

UEFA want the situation monitored daily on when football could make its way back.

The governing body wants every attempt to be made to finish the season by the end of June and the SFA and SPFL have signed up to that.

However, working groups for every league will be established to monitor and find the best situation to resolve the league season should time run out before the end of June.

The Euros have already been postponed but UEFA have set a timeframe for Euro qualifiers to be played this summer.

There’s no word yet on how plausible these plans are and we’re still awaiting the SFA to make statement.

Here is UEFAs plan set out after today’s meeting:

• Club competitions:

• A commitment to complete all domestic and European club competitions by the end of the current sporting season, i.e. 30 June 2020 at the latest, should the situation improve and resuming playing be appropriate and prudent enough.

• Possible limitations or drops of current exclusive calendar slots, potentially resulting in the scheduling of domestic league matches in mid-week and scheduling of UEFA club competitions matches on weekends.

• Possible adaptations of the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds in case of late completion of the 2019/20 sporting season, i.e. after 30 June 2020.

• Working groups:

• A working group composed of representatives from UEFA, leagues and clubs will be immediately established to examine relevant calendar matters and devise solutions allowing for the resumption and/or conclusion of the current season in a coherent manner.

• A second working group composed of representatives from UEFA, leagues, clubs and players will be set-up at a later stage to assess the economic, financial and regulatory impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and propose measures to help mitigate the consequences of the pandemic.

5. The Parties are convinced that this contingency plan is the best course of action at this moment in time. It takes into consideration the advice of international health experts as well as the restrictive orders issued by national governments and local authorities. It also allows for flexibility, as events warrant, with the hope of resuming play in front of football fans everywhere across the European territory as soon as it is appropriate and prudent, so that the current sporting season can be completed.

6. The Parties will continue to closely monitor the situation on a daily basis and, in the meantime, encourage the broader football community to take all reasonable precautions.

7. Finally, the Parties wish to stress that their thoughts are with all individuals and communities that have been impacted by the COVID-19.
