A month after UEFA decided to postpone the Men’s Euro Cup to 2021, it gave all the information about the women’s championship. The European Football Federation has emphasised that the Euro Cup, which will be held in England in those days 2022, will be the main focus of sporting interest.

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said that, after analysing all the possibilities, the commitment to help women’s football grow has been maintained. "It will be the only great football tournament to be held this summer; we will give it the leading role it deserves." Given that the Men’s Euro Cup and the Olympic Games will be held in 2021, it seems logical that decisions, even though they show that they still depend in part on men.

To provide some information: At the 2019 World Cup played in France, the stadiums filled slightly more than 74% and the championship was watched on TV by 1 billion people, showing the growing interest that female football is generating.
