Belgian football season likely over as govt suspends sport until July 31
BRUSSELS, May 6, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – The Belgian government announced
Wednesday it was suspending all sporting competitions until July 31,
effectively putting an end to the country’s football season.
The decision was acknowledged by the Pro League, the association of
Belgian clubs, which will study the “end of season terms and conditions”
during its general assembly on May 15.
The Belgian Pro League had delayed a vote on whether to end the season
because of the coronavirus pandemic three times. Clubs were mostly in favour
of ending the season.
