French join Dutch in abandoning football

|

The French football leagues have followed the Dutch lead by calling it day and cancelling the remainder of the football season.

The decision was made as the French Prime Minister prepared to present to the National Assembly on Tuesday his plan to stop all sporting activity in the country until August. That announcement will see the end of the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 season. When the league returns to action in August, it will do so with the beginning of the 2020-21 campaign.

The LFP has not yet decided on promotion and relegation however; that decision will be made at a league meeting next month.

    Let’s hope premier league get sensible too sean and follow some good news which is football starts again when fans are allowed to no longer do social distancing. That will be when probably a vaccine is found. It’s about health not money and I have no thoughts on football until we kick this virus into touch .
