French professional soccer, rugby and other league sports will not be allowed to return before September, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said on Tuesday, in comments that appeared to call an end to their 2019-20 seasons.
The French football league is expected to decide in May on exactly how to end the Ligue 1 season, which currently has Paris St Germain leading Olympique Marseille by 12 points. The 2020-2021 season had been due to begin in August.
"The 2019-2020 season of professional sports, especially that of football, will not be able to resume," Philippe told parliament when announcing plans to end the national lockdown that has been in place since March 17.
