From Italy to Sweden, European football awaits governments

In half of Europe, football hangs on government decisions. As in Italy, the leagues of 13 other countries await the green light to start again between the end of May and the middle of June, hoping to fit in the wake of those who already play, such as the German Bundesliga (which restarted last weekend), and the other 11 championships ready to follow it, in the Czech Republic (starting on May 25), Denmark (28), Poland (29), Israel, Lithuania and Serbia on 30, Austria on June 2, Portugal on 4th, Turkey on 12th, Norway 16, Russia on 21. In the map drawn by the European Leagues at the beginning of phase 2, that of coexistence with the coronavirus, four red spots then stand out, in Belgium, France, Holland and Scotland, where the season was closed prematurely.
    Among the stand-by championships, some are also evaluating other formats: in Romania, if the start slips far from 13 June, the playoff rounds for relegation would be reduced from two to one; in Finland, where you want to start again on July 1st to end in November, playoffs and play outs would be canceled if too many games were to miss. Playoffs and play outs are only an extreme ratio for Italy, which awaits the day of truth in a week. The next day will be that of Switzerland, which hypothesized the start for 18 June, with the protocols for the games ready.
    In the Premier League we have been working in small groups since 19 May, the first step towards recovery in June, when it will be possible to do it safely, while the second category championship will not begin training before Monday.
    In Spain we think about various scenarios, the most optimistic to start again on June 12th. In Greece, training has been free since 18 May on the outdoor courts, and with limitations pending the government to give the go-ahead to the games from 6-7 June. There are no precise dates in the Northern Ireland road map, which assesses various restart scenarios, from 30 May to 27 June. May 30 is also the goal of Ukraine.
    He still deals with football in Kazakhstan, which has 4 floors, from June 1 to July 1. The championship in Latvia would also end in November, where government approval is expected.
    Only the 'yes' of the executive is missing even in Sweden, but the protocols are ready to play from June 14 the championship, which would close in December.
    Much less chance of restarting in Azerbaijan, where the main cities are quarantined until 31 May.
