 "Iceland, Kolbeinn Sigthorsson, Euro 2016, England")
The annual Under-19 European Championships in men's and women's soccer were canceled Tuesday for the second straight year.
UEFA said government-imposed rules amid the coronavirus pandemic led to the decision.
The traveling of teams and staging of mini-tournaments would prove very difficult, UEFA said.
The men's tournament was to have more than 50 countries playing in qualifying groups in March, leading to an eight-team final event in Romania starting June 30.
Women's qualifiers were scheduled in April ahead of a final tournament in Belarus in July.
The 2020 editions were canceled in Northern Ireland and Georgia, respectively for men and women.
