Uefa has confirmed that teams could ultimately forfeit upcoming Nations League matches if they are unable to turn out due to players testing positive for Covid-19, or that the drawing of lots could decide a result. The European football governing body said matches could also be officiated by non-neutral referees should any of the originally-appointed match officials test positive. Uefa said that positive Covid-19 cases from tests conducted before matches could result in groups of players, officials or entire teams being placed into quarantine. If a team did not have 13 players, Uefa said it would try to reschedule the match. Uefa said that, should any match officials test positive, it might “exceptionally appoint replacement match officials who may be of the same nationality as one of the national associations and/or may not be on the Fifa list”.
