Italian Prime Minister announces return to football under certain conditions
Italian football clubs could start training under certain conditions soon, more specifically on May 18th, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced. Serie A has been interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic since March 9, when the biggest stars of Italian football could re-wear club jerseys in the battle for championship points, but it is still unknown.
If the words of Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte come true in the near future, football greens in Serie A could be revived in mid-June. Thus, the national championship, with 12 championship rounds remaining, would end in early August.
But this is, by most, the most ideal scenario to conclude earlier than the normal football season in the Apennine Peninsula, which has been hardest hit by the Coronavirus epidemic in the Old Continent. “We are intensively exploring all options with a clear desire to conclude national championships in team sports. We all love football and sports in general, but we have not made a final decision on the exact date when Serie A matches can be played again,” said in a statement to the public, Conte, who further emphasized the following: “Even if the above scenario is fulfilled, everyone operating in home club football will have to create certain conditions under which football matches can be played smoothly. together, we are aware that all matches will continue to be played without the presence of spectators. ”
In conclusion, the Italian Prime Minister added that athletes competing in individual sports disciplines will be able to return to training after the May Day holidays.
