Published on August 22, 2020, UEFA announced that Slovan Bratislava's Champions League qualification tie against Faroe Islands side KI Klaksvik has been cancelled due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the Slovakian club.
The match was initially scheduled for August 19 but was postponed to August 21 after a member of Bratislava's delegation tested positive for COVID-19.
However, a player from the Slovakian club tested positive for COVID-19, prompting UEFA to cancel the match.
"The rescheduled match could not be played and the matter will now be submitted to the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body, for a decision to be taken in accordance with Annex I," UEFA said.
This is not the first time a Champions League match has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Earlier this month, Kosovan side KF Drita's Champions League preliminary round tie against Northern Irish club Linfield was cancelled after two players tested positive.
Polish club Legia Warsaw, who face Cypriot side Omonia next Wednesday in the second qualifying round, also reported a second person testing positive for COVID-19.
