Impossible for serie a to restart in april claims aic president after coronavirus outbreak

The President of the Italian Football Federation (AIC), Gabriele Gravina, has stated that it is "impossible" for Serie A to restart in April due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Gravina made the comments during a press conference on March 12, 2020, where he expressed concerns about the feasibility of resuming the league in the near future. He emphasized that the situation is "very serious" and that the AIC is working closely with the Italian government and other stakeholders to find a solution.

The Italian government has implemented strict measures to contain the spread of the virus, including a nationwide lockdown, which has significantly impacted the country's sports calendar. The AIC has been forced to suspend all professional football matches, including Serie A, Serie B, and the Coppa Italia, until further notice.

Gravina's comments suggest that the AIC is unlikely to reconsider its decision to suspend the league, at least until the situation improves. The President emphasized that the safety of players, coaches, and fans is the top priority and that any decision to restart the league would need to be made with caution and careful consideration.

The suspension of Serie A has significant implications for the league's teams, players, and fans. The league was in its 28th round when the suspension was announced, and the delay is likely to have a significant impact on the season's schedule and outcome.

It remains to be seen when Serie A will be able to resume, but Gravina's comments suggest that it may be some time before the league is able to restart.
