UEFA, after speaking with both entities, has decided not to set a date for the new match. “In accordance with Annex J of the UEFA Europa Conference League regulations, UEFA, in cooperation with the two clubs, tried to find a viable solution to reschedule the match, in order to ensure that the group stage can be completed”, he pointed.
“Unfortunately, despite all efforts, no solution could be found that could satisfy both clubs. As a consequence, the game can no longer be played and the matter will therefore be referred to the Control, Ethics and Control Body. UEFA discipline for a decision to be made in accordance with Annex J of the aforementioned competition regulations, “he added.
Rennes have already finished first in the group, while Tottenham is third and could be eliminated.
