A press release was made after the UEFA meeting held today using the teleconference method. He made a strong recommendation for the completion of domestic competitions, if possible, in order to avoid any problems in the UEFA statement both in the next season and in the calendar of international tournaments. I think that from this point, federations of each country will decide on their own. For example, today, Germany has announced that the league will resume in May.
We will see together how true or false these decisions are. I think the matches will be played without spectators. Please share your thoughts here. Everything could be ready for betting soon.
UEFA Press Release:
https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/mediaservices/mediareleases/newsid=2641715.html@Nadziratel I believe that most of us were expecting this kind of statement to be made, as UEFA also understands that cancelling the leagues will lead to a huge headache on deciding which top 4 teams would progress to next years champion league.
There’s no way fans will be allowed inside the stadium this season but I think everybody will just be glad to be able to watch football again finally. There is no way any of the top European leagues will be cancelled & I’m glad.
@DeatAngel indeed no fans will be allowed for the remainder season in the stands, and while I’m happy we get to see football I’m yet going to hate watching every bit of it as without the fans these games will be really boring.
It doesn't really matter if those decisions are true or false (as you said or much better if we make it, will happen or not), since after all it will depend on a country's status. The supposed plan of those participating countries will surely just take place if it will meet all the required things to proceed safely. In other words, there is no assurance that those decisions, or basically, a plan will able to follow the exact timeline.
Honestly, related concerns can also be seen in other sports events. Each organization their respective plans just in case the situation got back to normal. Way better in the first place that they already constructed a plan for Situation A, Situation B, and so on.
@harizen many leagues have already began planning to resume their season again, and most them should start by May or June and then they’ll try and complete the season before July 31st, and furthermore let’s hope that everything processes smoothly and according to their plan.
