The Swiss professional leagues have been dormant since the end of February due to the coronavirus crisis. Recently there had been gradual easing for the teams. Only the resumption of training was allowed, on Wednesday the federal government then definitely gave the green light for a continuation of the season.
Clear majority against increasing the Super League
The Super League will not be increased from ten to twelve teams.
