Following the Bundesliga 100% is fun, but maybe not for months. The board of directors of the French Football League has "fixed (é) the start of the championships of Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 respectively on August 23 and 22, 2020", indicates a report posted online by the LFP.
In the document, consulted by AFP, the LFP specifies that it is only a provisional calendar, pending the announcements that UEFA must make on its European competitions at the next executive committee on 17 June.
The broadcasters consulted
"However, beyond the final dates of the competition days, after consultations with the broadcasters Médiapro, Canal + and beIN Sports, the start of season dates can be set on August 22 for Ligue 2 and August 23 for League 1" , is it written. The League met its board of directors on Wednesday, but has not communicated since on these dates.
On April 30, after deciding on the definitive end to the 2019-2020 fiscal year, the executive director general, Dider Quillot, had indicated that the League wanted to start the following season "at the latest" on August 22 and 23.
And for the cuts?
Among the major championships in Europe, France is the only one where the end of the season has been finalized, at the government's injunction. The Bundesliga resumed last weekend and the Liga is expected to restart in the week of June 8. Discussions are continuing in Italy and England.
The fate of the League Cup (PSG / Lyon) and Coupe de France (PSG / Saint-Etienne) finals remains uncertain. According to the minutes of the League, "the programming of the finals of the Coupe de la Ligue and the Coupe de France is still awaiting more precise information from the government to consider the conditions of their organizations".
