The Tin Man 80 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 With the 2019/20 season now scheduled to finish on 21 August, the principal change to the 2020/21 calendar is that everything is now a little later. Qualifying, which had been due to begin on 25 June, will now kick off on 20 August. The group stage draw will take place in Athens on 2 October with the competition proper getting under way on 22 October. The knockout stages will be unchanged from the original schedule. All qualifying ties will be single-leg matches. These matches will take place behind closed doors. Video Assistant Referee (VAR) will not be introduced for the group phase, as was planned. It will still be used in the knockout stage, with introduction for the group stage in 2021/22. The final will take place at Poland's Gdańsk Stadium, which had been due to stage the 2020 decider. Seville, the prospective 2021 host, will now host the 2022 event. When will matches take place?
