The start of the Ligue 1 2020/2021 season will be postponed one day as the initial league adjustment was cancelled due to 4 positive COVID-19 tests at Olympique de Marseille.
Marseille was to play at St Etienne on Friday night at the Stade Vélodrome, but the attack will now be postponed until 16 or 17 September. The French football regulations stipulate that if there are more than 3 positive tests, the fites should be postponed.
This aggravated the pain of Marseille, who last night saw his biggest rival, Paris Saint Germain, qualifying for the Champions League final by beating RB Leipzig 3-0 in the semi-finals. In a turn of events, Marseille was due to officially launch the 2020/21 season two days before PSG dropped the curtain on the 2019/20 season. PSG will seek to become the moment when the French club wins the biggest prize in European football, after the VICTORY of THE OM in 1993. It is possible that its waring parties are Lyon, which will face Bayern Munich of Germany in the semi-final at night in Portugal. .
France has faced a widespread accumulation of coronavirus cases in recent weeks. Last week, 2,000 new cases were reported, double the rate a month ago. As a result, the UK has brought about 40 14 days to cross the English Channel, while the French government itself is preparing to make the mask mandatory in the office from 1 September.
France is the first of the so-called major five leagues to start their 2020/21 season, while England, Italy, Germany and Spain will start in September. The first primary league to be started was also a league that early cancelled its 2019/20 competition, the Scottish Premiership, which began on the weekend of 1 August.
Scotland has also had games cancelled due to COVID-19 issues, not as serious as positive tests. Aberdeen had cancelled matches when eight of its players were seen in combination in a pub in violation of government regulations, while Celtic canceled two matches after a player, Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo, traveled to Spain without informing his employers, resulting in a violation of quarantine rules.

I’ve been a sports journalist since I was 15 years old and a sports enthusiast much earlier. My first paid task was to write Rugby League adjustment reports and I was paid with a bag of chips. Now I make a living analyzing the wonderful stories of football, boxing, cricket and, yes, rugby to make sense of the players’ powers. I oversee everything from governing bodies to the fight against doping, from amateur culture to major finances.
