Germany head coach Joachim Low has praised UEFA's decision to postponed Euro 2020 until 2021 as a result of the global coronavirus outbreak that has seen football across the world come to a standstill as a result of the pandameic.

UEFA announced the decision on Tuesday following a meeting with the competition now taking place next year from June 11 to July 11.

The 24-team competition was to be hosted in 12 different countries this year.

The postponement clears space to give national leagues and the Champions League and Europa League a chance to finish their seasons by June 30.

European soccer is in a shutdown and it is unclear when games can resume.
