According to the FIFA press service, the clubs are invited to extend the contracts until the season really ends, subject to mutual agreement of the parties. It is noted that the same principle applies to agreements that were supposed to enter into force with the start of the new season.
FIFA also called on national federations and clubs to work closely with players to find a compromise and agreement on compliance with contractual obligations regarding financial payments.
FIFA also allowed shifting the dates of transfer windows to match the end of the previous season and the start of a new one.
Due to the pandemic, most football and other sporting events were suspended, rescheduled or canceled.
Earlier it was reported that, according to the head of FIFA, the coronavirus pandemic will change world football.
