Sports Minister Vincenzo Spadafora
said Tuesday that it may not be possible for Italian soccer to
resume in time to complete the current season due to the
coronavirus emergency.
"If the conditions do not allow a resumption, it will be up
to the government to decide that all sporting championships must
stop, soccer included," Spadafora told RAI television.
"If it does resumption, the matches will be behind closed
doors, no question about it.
"There has been excessive pressure over the last few days
from those asking the government immediately for a date (for the
resumption).
"Today we don't have elements to be able to say that it will
be possible to resume the championship in the middle of June.
"It will depend on whether the contagion curve continues to
fall.
"I hope the championship resumes, but it must be in safety".
