Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland

Mr. Gary Owens:

Yes, that has been factored in. We have had a very successful return already. The international Nations League competition has already started and UEFA specifically stated that it did not want any fans attending the games. It has done exactly what we are doing here, which is taking incremental steps. It was the only federation in the world to commence international games so quickly. Only one game was postponed and that was for good reason. We can only go on the guidance UEFA has given to us, but it is very confident that next week will work very well and it is going to use that as a template to guide people in terms of what it does next year.
