Miami: The CONCACAF Nations League finals scheduled to be staged in Texas in June have been postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, the region's governing body said.
CONCACAF, the ruling body for football in North America, Central America and the Caribbean, said the four-team finals would take place at a date to be determined.
The finals had been scheduled for June 4 and June 7 in Houston and Dallas.
The Nations League semi-finals were scheduled for June 4, pitting Mexico against Costa Rica and Honduras against the United States.
The annual Caribbean Club Championship and qualifiers for the 2021 Gold Cup, respectively scheduled for May and June, have also been postponed, CONCACAF said in a statement on Friday.
"As we continue to assess our competitions scheduled to be played in the coming months, the welfare of everyone involved in football across our region remains our first priority," CONCACAF said in a statement on Friday.
"Given the ongoing public health situation, and following consultation with FIFA regarding the international football calendar, we have made the decision to suspend the CONCACAF Nations League Finals."
"The event will be rescheduled for a later date and at venues to be determined. This will be confirmed after further consultation with FIFA regarding the remaining international windows on the football calendar, and will obviously be subject to public health authorities determining that it is safe to resume professional sporting events," it added.
Most of the world's sporting events, including major football tournaments, have been suspended due to COVID-19, which has so far claimed more than 58,000 lives worldwide.
