Union Neuchâtel fell victim to the coronavirus pandemic when it was in a good position in the ranking: second in the SB League. Indeed, the LNA and LNB season for men and women will not come to an end. Swiss Basketball announced it at the end of a session Thursday evening with the presidents of the clubs of SBL, which expressed themselves unanimously but “reluctantly” for the stopping of the competitions, which also include the Cup of Swiss. The organization already announced yesterday that the junior, 1st league and LNB ladies championships were suspended until April 18 due to Covid 19.
The title of champion will not be awarded, nor will promotions and relegations be announced (this had already been decided at the start of the season). “The discussion was very constructive, the club presidents were aware that Swiss basketball had to respond as best as possible to the measures taken by the authorities, to preserve the health of the players, the players and the public. Unfortunately, stopping the championships was the only possible outcome, “said Federation President Giancarlo Sergi in a statement. / ats-vma
