BEIJING, Jan 30, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – China suspended all domestic football
matches Thursday, including the top-tier Chinese Super League, in response to
the deadly viral outbreak sweeping the country.
The start of the 2020 season will be postponed for “all levels and all
types of football across the country”, the Chinese Football Association said,
to protect the health of fans and players. The CSL season had been due to
kick off on February 22, according to state media.
