With the possible spread of Corona 19 also affecting the March A-match schedule, FIFA president Janni Infantino says he is watching the situation openly.

Infantino told reporters when he arrived in Belfast, Northern Ireland, at the IFAB General Assembly, when he met with the press, he said, "I don't rule out anything at this time."

He also suggested that he not only go in that direction, but also keep in mind schedule delays.

Corona19 fear has been realized in football, especially in Asia and Italy, where there are many confirmed and fatalities.

League schedules were postponed or spectators were held, as well as patients on site.

In Italy, players were infected with Serie C, a professional football team, and reporters and fans who went to Italy to watch the UEFA Champions League (UCL) were also positive.

Korea and China's Tokyo Olympic Women's Football Playoffs, which were scheduled for home and away on March 6-11, have been postponed since April.

At the end of March, there is no doubt that A-Match Week will proceed properly.

During this time, Qatar World Cup Asia 2nd Round Qualifiers are scheduled.

South Korea is also facing a battle with Turkmenistan (26th home) and Sri Lanka (31st expedition).

Infantino stressed, "Health is more important than any football game," he said. "We keep an eye on the situation and expect the spread to subside. The situation is still growing."

"If a match is postponed or if it is to be played as an spectator," he said.

However, he said, "The global ban is unlikely because the circumstances of each country are so diverse."

He added, "You can't underestimate the situation, but you don't have to overreact or panic."

Infantino reacted skeptically to the prolonged spectatorship of some games.

"A spectator race can be a short-term prescription, but I can't imagine running a spectator race for months," he said. "Each tournament organizer must make the best decision."
