French league fans may lose hope of seeing the renewed "Ligue 1" and "Ligue 2" competitions this season. According to "Le Parisien," the country's prime minister Edouard Philippe considers sports as a non-priority area that should feel the easing of the quarantine. According to the press, this means that football clubs could resume active activities in the second half of the summer, and matches could be played from August. Officials are not convinced even by team requests to play behind closed doors. That is why the French may be forced to follow in the footsteps of the Dutch and Belgians and officially cancel the championship. However, there is also one unrealistic idea circulating, supported by the owners of the "Lyon" and "Nice" clubs - to play the 2019-2020 season matches in September-December.
