The Football Association decides to apply “sports merit” if the new league is canceled

The Five-Year Committee for the Administration of the Football Association, headed by Amr Al-Ganaini, decided the fate of the Premier League competition if the competition was suspended due to the oppressive circumstances. The text of the new clause in the terms of the Premier League competition reads as follows: “Before the end of the half of the competition, all teams shall be canceled and the season shall be deemed as if it did not exist.”

After the end of the half of the competition, the last ranking of the teams is adopted at the time of the tournament’s stoppage, taking into account that in the event that the teams are not equal in the number of matches, the principle of sports merit is applied before the final arrangement is approved by the method of the following equation: The number of points won by each team divided by the number of matches Every team fought. “

In the event that the teams are equal in points, the mathematical merit equation is applied, and in all cases the same formula is applied to all the teams’ statistics, so that the difference in goals and goals scored is divided by the number of matches played by each team.

Mazen Marzouq, Chairman of the Competitions Committee of the Football Association, will hold a press conference at the headquarters of the Football Association next Saturday, to announce the controls of the new league and the regulations of the new competitions committee that will be applied in the new league, which includes not postponing any matches except in case of force majeure, in addition to the measures that will be taken In the event that the league competition is exposed to any circumstances that hinder its continuation, the representatives of the clubs sign the new list to prevent the request for any exceptions in the new league.
