The biggest shame is that it's not a world cup year, would be fantastic if Qatar could not hold it.

i read somewhere (sorry dont recall where) that uefa are looking at changing it to a one city or one country deal. it would seem the only practical way forward, if there is any way forward

Japanese Prime Minister has come out and said in Parliament that it will go ahead as planned. 

Sounds like the report is wrong

Yep it would be super sad for this reason 😢

Sounds like it's still on according to the AOC presser. 

Not a bad idea.

Honestly cant see COPA going ahead. And I'd be surprised if the Euros go ahead too.

FFS 😓 Send the Olyroos to Copa instead, if not cancelled too

Noooooooo.

Such a shame :(

Feel sorry for Olyroos boys, geez we haven't qualified since 2008 and this happens.

Hopefully FIFA could organise a u21 tournament later in the year as its very harsh on all players that have qualified for their respective countries. 

Inevitable

Reuters is reporting the Japanese government has privately concluded the 2021 Tokyo Olympics will have to be cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The news agency quoted The Times newspaper citing a senior ruling coalition member.

The Japanese government's focus was now on securing the games for Tokyo in the next available year, 2032, the newspaper said.
