odwołano

"Odwołano" means "canceled" in English.


The word 'odwołano' is used in its third-person singular past tense passive form, indicating an action (cancellation of the match) performed by an unspecified subject.

Mecz piłkarski odwołano z powodu deszczu.

The football match was canceled due to the rain.


Here, 'odwołano' serves the same purpose, showing a past action (concert cancellation) with no need to specify the doer.

Gdy odwołano koncert, artyści byli rozczarowani.

When the concert was canceled, the artists were disappointed.


Though 'odwołano' could fit here, its usage in passive constructions often requires the auxiliary 'zostało/stało' for well-formed sentences, emphasizing the action being acted upon.

Spotkanie zostało odwołano przez organizatorów.

The meeting was canceled by the organizers.
