Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 will not resume. There is "no question of considering a restart of the 2019/2020 season," insisted Thursday the Professional Football League, building on the Prime Minister who, she said, once again dismissed a "resumption of competitions" .
“Edouard Philippe once again dismissed the idea of resuming competitions today, thus confirming his position expressed on April 28. There is therefore no question of considering a restart of the 2019/2020 season as some are trying to ask, "said the LFP in a statement sent to AFP.
The next season in August
The League put an end to the championship of France on April 30, two days after an intervention by the head of government explaining that "the season will not be able to resume" because of the coronavirus. The Lyon club (7th in Ligue 1 according to the final ranking) fires all means against this decision, which it considers hasty.
“It is not for me to pronounce on decisions of leagues and federations. The championships, for two and a half months were interrupted for excellent reasons, "insisted Edouard Philippe Thursday when announcing the main principles of phase 2 of the deconfinement.
“The health context is improving but, the Prime Minister reminded us, caution prevails. With the new government announcements, training will be able to resume in June and the clubs will thus prepare for the next season, which will start in August, "continues the LFP.
