This year’s edition had been scheduled for the autumn in Warsaw, Poland.
”The Polish Institute of Sport that had applied to host the 2021 conference recently decided to withdraw its offer because of the uncertainties around COVID-19. We fully understand their reasoning and I must admit that we were not completely convinced either that it would be possible to organize a conference at short notice even if the corona situation should improve,” said Jens Sejer Andersen, international director of Play the Game.
