Sports fans will have to wait. Ligue 1, Ligue 2 and the Top 14 will not resume before the start of the school year. The coronavirus ended up having the skin of the 2019-2020 season. This Tuesday, during his speech before the National Assembly, Edouard Philippe clarified his deconfinement plan, which must begin on May 11. He ended up talking about the case of sport. "The 2019-2020 season of professional sport, especially football, will not be able to resume," said the Prime Minister.

The hypothesis of a resumption during the month of June of the current season, cherished by many actors of French football, therefore falls into the water. In Ligue 1, there were ten days left to play, plus a late match between Strasbourg and PSG.

The LFP will now have to decide on the classification, the designation of clubs qualified for Europe and the relegations and promotions of Ligue 2. Same topo in rugby, where the Top 14 is finished.
