FIFA has announced the postponement of the 70th Congress, which was scheduled on June 5 in Addis Ababa, to September 18, as part of measures to prevent the outbreak of the new Corona virus.
The football organization decided to postpone its council meeting, which was scheduled on March 20, to June or July 2020, to take place "at Viva headquarters in Zurich or via video calling technology." "Viva" said in a statement, "Concern regarding the health of the participants, in addition to the travel ban in several countries, has led to the cancellation of many similar events around the world."
And the spread of the "Covid-19" virus around the world affected many sporting events, especially in terms of cancellation, postponement or residence without fans. It also caused great confusion in the calendar of international matches for clubs and national teams, with postponing rounds of continental competitions and international matches.
