Fifa recommends march april internationals be postponed

FIFA has indeed recommended that international matches scheduled for March and April be postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

On February 25, 2020, FIFA announced that it was recommending the postponement of all international matches scheduled for March and April, including World Cup qualifiers, friendlies, and other competitions. This decision was made in consultation with the six confederations (UEFA, CONMEBOL, CAF, AFC, CONCACAF, and OFC) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The recommendation was made due to the rapid spread of the virus and the increasing number of cases and deaths reported worldwide. FIFA stated that the postponement would help to reduce the risk of transmission and protect the health and safety of players, officials, and fans.

Many countries have since followed FIFA's recommendation and postponed their international matches, including European nations, South American countries, and others. The decision has also had a significant impact on the global football calendar, with many competitions and tournaments being rescheduled or postponed.

It's worth noting that while FIFA has recommended the postponement of international matches, the decision ultimately rests with each individual country and confederation. Some countries have chosen to proceed with their matches as scheduled, while others have opted to postpone them.
