From the perspective of French association president Noel Le Graet, the current football season cannot be ended on June 30 despite the postponement of the European Championship in 2021. In view of the Corona crisis, he wants to propose to the European Football Union to extend the season at least until July 15th and the current financial year until July 31st, Le Graet told “L’Equipe”.
He hopes for the support of the Italian association. “Honestly, I do not know how to end the championship by the end of June,” said the head of the association, referring to the planned international matches of the French national team and the Champions League. The training could not be resumed before the beginning of April, he added.
With regard to the health of the players and the large number of pending matches, one has to explain today that the season will end on July 15th or 20th, Le Graet demanded. The club’s fiscal year should then last 13 months. The contracts of the players expired on June 30, but after discussions he was confident that a solution would be found. The new season should then begin in late August or early September.
