The ball stops again

.

Despite the plans that had transpired so that the Argentine soccer activity returned at the end of this month, finally the situation of the coronavirus pandemic forced to modify the plans and the new date that is aimed is October

The President himself, Alberto Fernández, had advanced in an interview with TN that it was "difficult" to imagine a soon return to professional football, in a context in which the teams began with face-to-face practices but meanwhile sources of contagion appeared on the one hand in Boca and on the other a constant growth in the number of cases in the country.

Finally then the AFA already assumed that there will not be a soon return of football.

In the event that it is possible to return on October 15, which is the new objective, it is clear that, since the number of dates available until the end of the year, will also have to be rethought, the tournament model that will be played.

Meanwhile, it will also be necessary to see what happens with the situation of the First National, where they were still studying how the tournament would be played that would leave two promotions to the First Division.

In addition, we will have to wait for the resolution of the TAS for the claim of San Martín de Tucumán, which demanded a direct promotion because one of the zones was first found at the time the activity was suspended.
