Announcement of guidelines to allow changes to FIFA players' contract and transfer periods April 15, 15:00

With the spread of the new coronavirus causing major changes in the schedules of European leagues, FIFA has issued guidelines to allow players to extend their contracts until the end of the actual season.

The spread of the new coronavirus has forced European leagues to be interrupted, and in many cases, the season dates ending by May have changed significantly.

On the other hand, many players have contracts with each club according to the season. Given these circumstances, FIFA issued a guideline on Tuesday, stating that it is clear that the season cannot be completed at the expected time, allowing players to extend their contract deadline to the end of the actual season.

It also showed that players can be transferred and that the summer transfer period can be changed according to the new schedule in each league.
