Current estimate of the next UFWC title match: Netherlands vs. Poland on 4th September 2020. The intention of this article is to provide updates on the developments around international matches within UEFA's responsibility - as the current UFWC champion Netherlands depends on such decisions directly. Intention is to keep this text updated whenever any new information is available - newest updates are on top:
