UEFA will make a final decision on the dates of the women's 2021 European Championship over the summer, with the tournament expected to be delayed a year.

The governing body announced on Tuesday that the men's Euro 2020 was to be postponed for a year due to the coronavirus pandemic, a decision which is expected to have a knock-on effect for a number of other tournaments.

The new dates for the men's Euros are now June 11 to July 11, 2021, with the women's Euros scheduled to start on July 7 at Old Trafford.

The men's competition was due to be staged across 12 European cities before the delay and the tournaments could still be staged back-to-back next summer.

However, several national FAs are expecting the women's finals to be postponed.

It would leave Phil Neville's Lionesses side with a three-year gap between major tournaments without competitive fixtures, since they do not need to qualify for the Euros as hosts.

Neville is also due to manage a Team GB side at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics but the Games are increasingly in doubt.

In a statement announcing the delay to Euro 2020, UEFA said: "Decisions on dates for other UEFA competitions, whether club or national team for men or women, will be taken and announced in due course."
