All UEFA football matches this week will observe a minute's silence for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
UEFA President Michel Platini says ''the entire European football family will stand united on the pitch this week before our matches, in order to express our deepest sympathy and full support to the Japanese people, and we wish them continued strength in tackling the subsequent problems following the tragedy.''
The minute's silence will be observed at the four Champions League matches on Tuesday and Wednesday, eight Europa League matches on Thursday and four Women's Champions League quarterfinal matches on Wednesday and Thursday.
At least 10,000 people are believed to have been killed in the devastation.
