The British government has given official permission for the English Premier League to resume in June. There is currently a ban until June 1 on organizing official sporting events. After this date, there is permission to hold sports and cultural events with television coverage, but behind closed doors, avoiding the risk of large-scale social contact. This is one of the steps in the government plan published earlier today. It is more than 50 pages long and it explains in detail all future measures and conditions.
In order for everything to go according to plan, sufficient progress must be made by then to limit the spread of the infection. The document also refers to the fact that for the time being there will be no return of fans to the stadiums, as this will happen at a much later stage, and it also depends on the reduction of the number of infected people. The British media themselves even commented that this could happen only after the discovery of a vaccine against the virus.
For now, the planned renewal date is June 12. However, there is another important thing for this to happen. At least 14 of the 20 clubs in the Premier League must be “for” the renewal of the championship. But at the moment there is no complete unanimity on the subject. At this stage, eight teams have spoken out against the project. Aston Villa, Watford and Brighton have already spoken out against it, and Norwich, Bournemouth and West Ham are also said to disagree. There are two other clubs that are in opposition to the decision, but so far they are not mentioned. On May 18, the teams resume training and then the final decision must be made. It is still not entirely clear where the matches will take place, and the proposal is to play them on neutral ground.
