"Emirates Today" has learned that the trend has become strong for the League of Professionals League, to complete the matches of the Arab Gulf League football "Professional League", and that the date set for this is next September.
The source emphasized that the issue of canceling the league is not completely possible except in one case only if the consequences of Corona virus continue until this proposed date in September, otherwise the tournament will not be affected or canceled at all.
The emphasis by the League on completing the league comes to preserve the image of the Arab Gulf League in front of the world, especially as those responsible for patrols in Europe and even in Asia and the Arab countries are still adhering to establishing their patrols in the coming period, without any desire to end the activity, which is the same position Who does not want the officials of the Association to deviate from it.
A visualization was made regarding the establishment of the remaining seven rounds of the tournament in September, that is, after the end of the AFC Champions League group stage, which determines the remaining four rounds were held in August in the combined system.
Several clubs have requested that the competition not be completed due to the current conditions due to the Corona virus, and the financial implications incurred in the event of the extension of the league championship beyond May, which was a predetermined date for the end of the football season.
The Association of Professionals developed more than one scenario earlier this month regarding the return of the league in May, as health authorities did not allow the normalization of life activities as they were before the emergence of the Corona epidemic, and another scenario to resume the league in August, but given that this date conflicts with The AFC Champions League, it was decided to set a new date in September, with the league ending before the national team’s qualifications in the yellow continent qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.
Some sources indicated that the League of Professionals developed the concept that it had finished in front of the Football Association, in preparation for developing programming for the national team’s preparations in the coming period.
