Toulon Tournament cancelled for 2020 after 'difficult decision' amid coronavirus pandemic

The Maurice Revello Tournament 2020 has been cancelled due to the coronavirus crisis, organisers have announced.

Traditionally one of the great showcases for bright young footballers, the competition - more commonly known as the Toulon Tournament - has seen international teams vie for the trophy since 1975, having previously included club sides.

However, for the first time since the competition was inaugurated in 1967, it will not run this year.

A statement published by the organisers reads: “Last April, when we announced the postponement of the Maurice Revello Tournament’s 48th edition, initially planned to be held from 1st to 14th June, the Organising Committee took the time to reflect: should we totally skip this year 2020?
