These incorporate setting January 20 to February 6, 2021 as the new dates for the FIFA Women's World Cup Costa Rica/Panama competition initially for 2020.

The FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup India will currently happen on February 17 – March 7, 2021, and the FIFA Futsal World Cup Lithuania will occur from September 12 to October 3, 2021.
