The Belgium Professional Football Clubs Association
said it has postponed final approval of the early
termination decision, which issued earlier this
month, due to the Corona virus pandemic.
The Belgian Football Association defended its decision
to cancel the remaining matches of the season in
connection with the European Union for the game, last
Friday, after “UEFA” threatened countries that do not
seek to complete local league competitions by denying
participation in the continental championships.
Club Bruges crowned the title, while a committee
formed to settle relegation and ascension issues and
qualify for European club competitions next season.
But the decision soon faced an attack from “UEFA” that
stressed the importance of resolving competitions,
including local leagues, on the field, and that stopping
play should be “the last resort.”
The decision to cancel the remaining matches of this
season required the final approval of 24 clubs on April
15th, and the approval settled gave that 17 clubs
had already called for the end of the season early.
However, this meeting postponed,
without any explanation until April 24, which raised
speculation about the possibility of reversing the
cancellation decision.
The decision to cancel the season caused the confusion
of most of the Belgian clubs due to the absence of
revenues, while more than 2500 people in the country
died from the virus.
