Sensing the window of opportunity slowly closing, Philippine Football Federation president Mariano Araneta Jr.
said on Tuesday that the sport’s national governing body is willing to demonstrate to national government leaders in charge of the COVID-19 pandemic task force its return-to-train-and-play protocols.
Araneta was hoping that once given the go-signal to resume practices, this would lead to the eventual opening of the Philippines Football League, the country’s pro football tournament. “It’s not like we do not have a precedent,” said Araneta, citing the resumption of football play of the La Liga in Spain, the Bundesliga in Germany and English Premier League in the United Kingdom, which opened over the weekend, although without the usual fans watching at the stadiums.
While Nierras was on the same page as Araneta, he stressed that “nobody knows better than our government about the current COVID-19 situation in the country. I won’t even second-guess them when it comes to that.
