The Football Leagues Administration is broadcasting great optimism about the resumption of games in the two major leagues this coming weekend.

This is in accordance with the promise they received from the relevant authorities upon entering the third closure and despite the increase in morbidity and the possibility that the general closure will be extended for another week.

The chairman of the administration, Erez Kalfon, is in direct contact on the subject with the director general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Hezi Levy, and the deputy director general, Prof. Itamar Grotto, who clarified the importance of returning to the games this weekend, even if the closure is extended.

However, Kalfon knows that in the end the government can decide not to approve the return of football, and in a conversation with "Israel Today" he admitted: "If the games are not resumed on Saturday, there will be an existential danger for the league to continue. "On Friday, the national league will return and on Saturday, the Premier League. The Ministry of Health understands that football needs to return."

Meanwhile, the administration hopes that next week the Ministry of Health will approve the vaccination campaign for players, members of the professional and administrative staff, referees and observers in the two senior leagues.

If the vaccination operation is approved, it will be held in two stadiums by MDA representatives and will be fully supervised by the administration.
