After tomorrow, a wait that spanned almost 100 days without English football competition ends, after the forced stop imposed by the new Corona virus, in a different return that will be the focus of attention in the cities of the world, as is the case with local interest in it.
The English Premier League has reserved its place as the most expensive national championship of the popular game around the world, with hundreds of millions of followers from India and China, passing through the Middle East, Africa and the Americas, and of course the old continent. The international broadcasting rights to the Premier League for the 2019-2022 time period reached a record 4.2 billion pounds ($ 5.3 billion), while a Scandinavian deal was concluded for the period between 2022 and 2028, at a value of two billion pounds.
These earnings this season will serve as the rescue rope for clubs that have suffered financially due to the layoff, and will remain deprived of match revenue as long as fans are prohibited from pursuing them in the stands.
There are 92 matches remaining from the 2019-2020 season (which are nine full stages and two postponed matches), but the League wants to finish it by late July, which will push it to intensively schedule matches that include stages during the week, instead of only its end. According to reports, the broadcasters will receive a compensation of 107 million pounds due to the change in the scheduling of matches and its possible reflection on the viewership. Nevertheless, Asian fans are still waiting for the League to return, especially those who give themselves a first title for Liverpool after decades of waiting.
