Russian President Vladimir Putin has formally passed the torch to Qatar for the World Cup in 2022 but when exactly is the next tournament and how will it work?
England, surprise semi-finalists at Russia 2018, will be back in action in September when the new UEFA Nations League kicks off - live on Sky Sports - while a special Euro 2020 will take place in 12 cities across 12 countries, concluding at Wembley.
The World Cup is heading to the Middle East for the first time. Qatar, a peninsula in the Persian Gulf, will host the 2022 tournament after controversially winning the right in 2010.

For the first time, the World Cup will not be held during the months of May, June or July. That's because Qatar is surrounded by desert and average summer temperatures can soar to 45 degrees.
FIFA has taken the decision to move the tournament to cooler winter months and has confirmed a start date of November 21, 2022. It will still be hot, though - Qatar boasts average temperatures of 24 degrees in November and 20 in December.
Whether the 2022 World Cup will be a 32-team event or expand to 48 sides is still to be decided.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has said that Qatar can insist on keeping a 32-team format, though he admitted towards the end of Russia 2018 that he was "pretty sure that all options will be on the table."
Hassan Al Thawadi, head of Qatar's World Cup 2022 committee, said: "It will be a common decision taken between FIFA and Qatar and we are now studying the feasibility of expanding it to a 48-team World Cup. However, all preparations are on the basis of 32 teams."
Were the number of teams to increase, so would the likelihood of Qatar sharing hosting duties in the region.
Top-flight football for the 2022-23 campaign could kick-off in July to accommodate the break for the World Cup.
But outgoing Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore has repeatedly said his priority is to try and keep the Christmas and New Year programme intact and the Premier League campaign could resume as early as Boxing Day.

The season could run on until the beginning of June, meaning a shorter break before the following campaign starts, although no decision has yet been made.
Though altering the timing of the tournament has seemingly set FIFA on a collision course with powerful European clubs, the Qataris are seeking to put a positive spin on the change.
"Players will be mid-season, not at the end of their seasons, at a time when they can be at their peak of their performance levels," Al Thawadi has said.
Qatar is planning eight new stadiums for the tournament, with one completed, two more due this year and the rest scheduled to be finished by 2021. None is more than 35km from the centre of the capital Doha and all will be air-conditioned, as well as being serviced by a brand new metro system.

Qatar is set to relax laws on the consumption of alcohol, planning areas for visiting fans where alcohol can be consumed to ensure they replicate the party atmosphere of past tournaments.

Addressing concerns over the potential impact of cultural differences on the experience, Al Thawadi told Russia Today: "Let's address the elephant in the room - alcohol. Alcohol will be served, it just won't be served in public places, in the streets and so on, but there will be designated areas, open areas where people will be able to have alcohol.
"It's a different culture, it's not a restrictive culture as people think it might be."
Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar but Al Thawadi insists "everybody's welcome".
"We're used to hosting major events, we're used to welcoming people from different walks of life and different parts of the world into our country," Al Thawadi said. "Simply put, everybody's welcome, everybody will be having a good time."
Qatar has little sporting tradition and has never played at a World Cup.
The Qatar Stars League - formerly the Q-League - is the highest professional league. The current champions are Al-Duhail SC but the most decorated is Al Saad - the current side of Spain legend Xavi.
