China News Service, May 29. According to foreign media reports, French Prime Minister Philip has officially announced that the start date of all sports competitions in France must not be earlier than June 21.
French Prime Minister Edward Philip previously announced on April 28 that all sporting events in the 2019-20 season, especially the football league, may not start. A few days ago, Philip made it clear again the position of the French government: "All football and other sports events are forbidden to resume before June 21, and all sports venues must not be open to the public before June 21."
However, according to local media, the collective training of athletes can be resumed from June 2.
Talking about the early end of the Ligue 1 league, Philip said: "It is not my responsibility to announce the decision of the league and the Football Association outside the country. But I think it makes sense to suspend all games in the past two and a half months. Very necessary measures. There are still many restrictions on the opening of sports venues now, and collective sports are still within the scope of the ban. I personally hope that the game can be resumed as soon as possible, and the Ligue 1 can be played normally next season. Understand that all teams and players are full of expectations. "
The French Professional Football League responded to this decision: "Following April 28th, Mr. Phillips once again emphasized his position on the restoration of sports events. Although some parties have proposed to restart the 2019-20 season league, this practice It is unrealistic. "(End)
