Topic: UEFA : Complete Domestic Competitions! - page 2. (Read 378 times)
Possibly all games both in domestic or European competitions are going to be played without spectators. This will be the number one measure in order not to risk the public health while resuming all leagues.
What happened to Eredevise is sad but at the same time the right thing to do now, I do not believe all the nations who are considering finishing the season these days, even on June it is very very dangerous to play, anyone plays any game before August is basically risking their players.
Maybe the number of death is going down, maybe the number of infected goes down as well, but all of those happens because we are in a lockdown situation and there are less people outside getting infected. If we were not in lockdown and people went outside that means the virus would spread again and go up again, and starting the leagues back up is exactly that, removing the lockdown for certain amount of people and I find it very risky.
All leagues should wait until late august or early September and finish the season at that moment, after that give a small break and have another season that is quicker and more games instead of just once a week.
I think so too, in my opinion don't organize any tournament until the corona vaccine is discovered. This can be a dangerous decision for the world.Maybe the number of death is going down, maybe the number of infected goes down as well, but all of those happens because we are in a lockdown situation and there are less people outside getting infected.

Many experts have the opinion that it will take more than a year to find a fully effective vaccine. So, in your opinion, many leagues should not be played not only this year, but also next year.
I think it would be much more correct to play leagues by taking the right measures. Of course, there will be a ban on spectators for a while. At least, people should be able to watch the matches at home. Because I think we all need this.

The Polish Football Federation has just announced that the leagues will resume in May.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said the Polish football season could restart at the end of May behind closed doors, after it was suspended last month because of the coronavirus pandemic.

According to the statement made by the authorities yesterday, the Turkish Super League can start on 13-14-15 June to play the remaining 8-week fixture. But at the same time, it was stated that the idea of playing all matches in a safe city is not possible. And of course all the remaining matches will be played without an audience.
Netherlands Eredivisie ended season without crowning champion and no relegation because government restricted to play until September 1st, so they had no other choice. And it's really sad.
There is talks that La Liga must be forced to play without spectators until 2021 or for one year. Similar talks about Serie A or Bundesliga. I'm not really sure why such strict restrictions is needed. But they can't even know what will happen after month or two. So, maybe instead of putting deadline in such far future, they should react to situation step by step. Maybe in few months it will be safe enough to allow limited number of people with distance in the stands. But now they just put deadline without knowing how good or bad situation will be in September or October.

I wonder if the players will play with masks and other protection gears. Can they even avoid body contacts in such competitive sporting events? They probably shouldn't be doing this if they take the health organizations safety measures recommendations seriously.
Offcourse no. How you imagine players playing with masks? First of all, wearing mask would be pointless thing because football is not contactless sport and you can't keep distance there. Second, they would be tested before games. 
If those big leagues decide to finish somehow, I am sure many lower level leagues will find a way for next year as well, after all they were given the summer and even if they can't do it on May or on June, they can still try to get back on July or even as late as August or early September as well, it would be hard schedule because next season will start shortly after but it could be expected from players to consider this situation as the summer break and a longer year next season.
However it is not same for each nation, sometimes economy plays a role, but sometimes death toll plays a bigger role as well, the nations with the highest death toll could have harder time to come back, Germany is doing fine and would understand them coming back for example but it must be really really difficult for Serie A to come back for example, we can't put them in the same discussion, they went through totally different situations.
The leagues that make the most money via TV & sponsorship will finish. German, Spanish, Italian & PL will finish imo.
Anyways, even if they decided that they would resume or not, isn't it still the government or the ruling power to have this call? Not just the federation with that?
Yes, it is in the hands of the government most likely they'll need to get some sort of approval before the league gets resumed. It was also mentioned on the links (given by Juggy) that a protocol must be followed. Nothing is guaranteed at the moment the first league to maybe resume operation would be Bundesliga but they're still waiting for the approval as well. Everything looks to be planned out for now in case things starts to settle down in their country.
Well, for me and based on my own opinion, it is great news though. I am from Asia still I am looking forward to watching a live telecast of a football game. Perhaps, it is the decision of their country if they will hold such league for they know the pandemic status in their own country. Domestic competition is already a safety measure to the players for they are aware whom they will be competing because rest assure they will all undergo the same COVID test. Indeed, for sports, --bettors will be live and excited again as they can bet once more in a live sports event.
How can a COMPANY have so much power? I mean FIFA is not some government branch, they are literally a football organization that makes billions upon billions of dollars in profit plus we all know they also take bribes as well, it was only few years ago that it was proved they took bribes for some of the locations. How can an organization so crooked and so bad could still force teams and nations to risk their lives.
Fifa will not be risking their lives, so why should nations? They are pressuring countries to restart the leagues but at the same time the leagues have to think about the well being of the population, whereas only thing Fifa has to care about is their precious profits. I say give the middle finger to Fifa and not finish it but I think clubs do not have that much money or power to do that.

Germany and some countries are taking steps to keep the leagues somehow. Officials from the Netherlands and some countries announced that it is not possible to continue the leagues this year.
An official said today that the decision given by the managers of the teams in Turkey. I think it will be a year that everyone suffers economically. In this case, fans, clubs, footballers, employees and federations will somehow hurt.

The thing is the health condition of the players is definitely monitored and checked beforehand. Also, there must be some rules that they need to follow to be able to play in this situation.Its simply like that.
And the problem with supporters is the authorities cant do the same thing to them, so after all, they will still be dangerous.
In principle, I think it is a very good decision that the leagues should be finished. Less good, however, is UEFA's reasoning that otherwise there could be problems for the clubs in international competitions. Belgium, for example, has decided to stop the league due to Corona and select a champion early, the Netherlands will not play again until September:
I don't think that UEFA can get money out of that so easily. The TV rights are sold for years (Sky, DAZN, ...), so it is not so easy to broadcast matches elsewhere or to exploit the broadcasting rights.
England, for example, has announced that they will hold ghost games, but want to broadcast as many games as possible on TV.
I'm pretty sure UEFA would try and make money by making the viewership somewhat exclusive to those paying fans (kinda like PPV) but idk whether they will implement it or not.

This should come with careful planning and close coordination with countries involved wherein matches will take place. While there may be no spectators or audiences on the stadium to watch the said games, I'm pretty sure UEFA would try and make money by making the viewership somewhat exclusive to those paying fans (kinda like PPV) but idk whether they will implement it or not. That's the only way they can make money through viewership. I'm sure most of the people will be pissed, but UEFA isn't above any law--they must abide by the rules currently in place that are set by countries to practice social distancing and to further limit the spread of COVID-19.
Football will come back soon, but sadly without spectators or fans for the remainder of the season.
Thats the best solution, and Germany; the bundesliga has already voted for May 8/9 to commence the league behind closed doors; there will be lack of funds; and cheers but it is fair for all clubsides.
Another alternatives is the Points per Games that uefa suggested for the English league.

At least, their fans know about the update news from their league. That can give them a hope that the league have a plan to continues the match. But I think the spectators will not be allowed to watch because that is for their safety from the pandemic. After all, we don't know if the pandemic will be over in the next month so the match will be no spectators.
But from the spectators itself, I think some of them will try to come to the stadium and watch for the match because the feeling to watch the match will be different. But we need to wait for that, and if the matches will really be played in May.

Playing with many spectators should be ok... nothing prevents them (spectators) from practicing social distancing (and have their protection gears on) to prevent the crowd situations.
I wonder if the players will play with masks and other protection gears. Can they even avoid body contacts in such competitive sporting events? They probably shouldn't be doing this if they take the health organizations safety measures recommendations seriously.
Well, I think people should be able to enter stadia without going against the health organizations safety recommendation which some or most governments rely on.

There's no way anyone in their right mind would allow playing a football game with fans. There is just too much risk involved. True, they can be separated on the stand, but how will they enter? There is no way that several thousand people can enter a stadium while practicing social distancing.
I wonder if the players will play with masks and other protection gears. Can they even avoid body contacts in such competitive sporting events?
Playing with face masks is almost impossible, it would greatly affect the players breathing. And it's also impossible to avoid body contacts in such a short as football.It's impossible to avoid body contact in any sport like football. Maybe tennis and such sports where players are separated on the field, but you can't play any team sport without body contact.

No, it will not be OK. Spacing out tge fans would leave so many empty seats inbetween, limiting the number of tickets that can be sold. Plus the virus can be transmitted through contaminated surfaces, so rails, seats and areas that are regularly touched could lead to the spread of the virus. Protective gear does little as it can be spread through cross contamination.I wonder if the players will play with masks and other protection gears.
