Coronavirus italian football federation says serie a season may not finish
A developing story!
Yes, you're correct. The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has announced that the Serie A season may not be completed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
On March 25, 2020, the FIGC released a statement saying that the season may be abandoned if it becomes impossible to complete the remaining matches. The decision was made after a meeting with the Italian government, the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI), and the country's sports minister.
The statement read: "The FIGC, in agreement with the Italian government, CONI and the sports minister, has decided to suspend the Serie A and Serie B championships until April 3, 2020. If, by that date, it is not possible to resume the championships, the FIGC will have to consider the possibility of abandoning the season."
The decision comes after several Serie A matches were postponed or cancelled due to the spread of COVID-19 in Italy. The country has been one of the hardest hit by the pandemic, with over 31,000 confirmed cases and over 2,500 deaths.
If the season is abandoned, it would be the first time in Italian football history that a top-flight season has not been completed. The decision would also have significant implications for the teams, players, and fans, including the potential loss of revenue and the uncertainty surrounding the future of the clubs.
The situation is being closely monitored, and we'll have to wait and see how it develops.
