The following are the scheduled events of association football (soccer) for the year 2020 throughout the world.
Numerous association football competitions were either postponed or cancelled during the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 13 March 2020, FIFA announced that clubs did not have to release players to their national teams during the international windows of March and April 2020, while players also had the option to decline a call-up without any consequences. FIFA also recommended that all international matches during the March and April 2020 windows be postponed. [1]
By April 2020 only four nations were still playing association football league matches: Belarus, [2] [3] [4] Nicaragua, [5] Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan [6] [7]
In April 2020, FIFA announced that the 2020 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and the 2020 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup would be postponed and rescheduled. [8]
