The 2020 National Soccer Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be postponed to 2021 due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a Tuesday release.
The third annual induction weekend was originally scheduled for September 19-20, 2020 in Frisco, Texas. Members of the 2020 and 2021 classes will be inducted into the Hall of Fame during a singular ceremony next year.
“The health and safety of our Hall of Famers, new Inductees and guests is our highest priority,” National Soccer Hall of Fame Executive Director Djorn Buchholz said in Tuesday's release. “After monitoring the situation and consulting with medical experts, we decided that it is in the best interest to postpone the 2020 Induction Ceremony. While it is disappointing we won’t be able to bring our Hall of Fame family together and welcome our new inductees, we are looking forward to doing so next year as we celebrate both the 2020 and 2021 classes in one ceremony in Frisco. ”
Voting for the 2020 Class was completed earlier this year and the class will be announced in the near future.
