The LFP press release on the coronavirus

The LFP Board of Directors met on March 4, 2020 regarding the situation of the coronavirus.

In constant contact with the public authorities (Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Sports, Ministry of Health), the LFP will work on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the Prefectures, the clubs concerned and the broadcasters, in each situation that arises by scrupulously respecting the recommendations of the government and by applying the decisions of the local prefects.

In order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and to promote barrier gestures, the LFP Competitions Commission modified the pre-match protocol.

This new device, which aims to avoid shaking hands, will apply until further notice in LFP competitions:

– The players and the central referee will shoulder the “escort kids” at the entrance of the teams;

– After the alignment of the players, they will disperse on the field;

– Handshakes between coaches, referees and delegate will be removed.
