European leagues have been urged not to “abandon” their seasons, after officials revealed they are working towards plans to resume games from July.
UEFA, the European Club Association [ECA] and European Leagues [EL] have written to all 55 member associations, including clubs and leagues, and called on them to “walk united” as they tackle growing issues from the coronavirus pandemic.
UEFA chaired a conference call with every member association on Wednesday.
No association raised the issue of cancelling the current season but, since the meeting, the board of directors at Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League have recommended their season should end.
Some clubs in the Netherlands are also calling for a premature end to their season.
Officials are working towards scenarios which extend beyond the current preferred deadline of June 30.
