It was a widely expected move, with pressure ramping up from Europe's big domestic soccer leagues. Earlier, Reuters learned that UEFA had cancelled its hotel bookings in Copenhagen, one of the 12 host cities staging the tournament. The CPH Hotel said UEFA had booked 80 of its 102 rooms but cancelled them a little over a week ago. All five of Europe's top domestic soccer leagues -- England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany -- are suspended, along with the Champions League, Europa League and World Cup qualifiers. The 2020 edition was supposed to be the first staged across the continent, rather than by a single or joint host nations.
