RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The chance of Brazilian football restarting in May is more of a hope than an expectation, the secretary general of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said on Monday.
Brazilian football was suspended last month because of the spread of the new coronavirus and Walter Feldman told Reuters a quick restart was unlikely.
Feldman said the CBF had not yet considered scrapping this year's national championship, which is scheduled to kick off in early May and end in December. The autonomous state federations could restart their tournaments without the green light from the CBF but Feldman said he expected any decision will only be made after consultation with the health ministry.
