In more ways than one, 2020 was an absolute shambles of a year.
This, in no small part, owed to the outbreak of the coronavirus Covid-19, which forced lockdowns all around the world and has reportedly led to deaths of over a million people over the course of the year.
Its impact was also keenly felt in football, with the footballing calendar thrown out of sync and various events postponed or rescheduled as a result. Examples of this are the 2020 Euros, which will now hold in 2021, and the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, which is now slated to be played in January 2022.
