The next women's European Championship in England has been put back a year to 2022, UEFA confirmed on Thursday, after initially being postponed as a knock-on effect of the coronavirus crisis.
European football's governing body confirmed that the competition will be staged from July 6-31, 2022, following a meeting of its Executive Committee.
The competition was put back after the earlier decision to delay the men's European Championship by a year to 2021 in the face of the pandemic, and the desire to avoid a clash of the two tournaments.
"When we had to take an urgent decision on the postponement of UEFA Euro 2020, we always had the impact on UEFA women's Euro 2021 in mind," said UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin.
"We have carefully considered all options, with our commitment to the growth of women's football at the forefront of our thinking."
