Pursuant to Article 8 of the regulations, and by taking into account the current exceptional circumstances, UEFA has lifted the “blocked hours” protection granted to the UEFA Member Associations for England, Scotland and Montenegro for the remainder of the 2019/20 season football season, following requests from the relevant National Associations as a result of measures taken in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.
