"Ligue 1" has already scheduled the start of the new season © JumpStory

"Ligue 1" championship leaders believe that they will be able to start the new season at the usual time. This week in France, both the "Ligue 1" and "Ligue 2" championships of the 2019-20 season were officially suspended. The French government decided that no mass events would be allowed in the country until the end of September. Country's football leaders had the opportunity to negotiate the end of the season in empty stadiums, but this raised many questions, so it was decided to completely finish the battles of this season. According to the leadership of "Ligue 1", this should allow the new season to start at the usual time - at the end of August (22nd). The final decision will be made after an agreement with the official broadcasters of the championships and the government."
