“Eredivisie may also end after August 3” Football

sport">“There is no specific deadline. We are exploring different options when the competitions can end, taking into account the start of the next season, ”said Ceferin in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. “It will be very difficult to finish a season in September or even October. That would have a huge impact on the 2020-2021 schedule. ”

sport">Should football be played again in Europe in a few weeks, then according to Ceferin this will in any case be for empty stands. “But it is better to play football without an audience than not to play football at all,” says the Slovenian. “Football can bring back emotion and joy to the fans’ living rooms. And after a while the stadiums will fill up again, I’m sure of that. ”
