The Argentine Football Association has decided to cancel the domestic league competition for the 2019-2020 season due to the outbreak of the new Corona virus.
Argentine Football Association President Claudio Tapia announced today, Monday, April 27, the elimination of the domestic league competition for the 2019-2020 season due to the outbreak of the new Corona virus.
“We will drop the curtain on the league and choose the teams that will participate in the continental competitions next season,” Argentine President Claudio Tapia said Monday in an interview with a local TV channel.
Claudio Tapia added that the relegation principle will not be adopted this season and the season that follows.
Tapia justified the permanent suspension of the league by the necessity of easing the economic burdens under which Argentine clubs are suffering, and the Argentine government decided to extend the quarantine period until May 10.
It is noteworthy that Boca Juniors had won the title of Argentinian league, at the expense of its traditional rivals River Plate, last March.
