PSG are due to play in the finals of French Cup and the League Cup, which the FFF hopes can take place before the season restarts.
“The 2019-2020 professional sports leagues, notably football, cannot yet restart,” Philippe told a televised address to French parliament at the National Assembly. The announcement appears to scupper the plans of French football’s top division Ligue 1 to start again in June with players being recalled as of May 11.
Paris St Germain are due to meet St Etienne in the French Cup, while Thomas Tuchel’s side are scheduled to face Lyon in the League Cup. Tour de France organisers ASO limited crowds at the start of the Paris-Nice eight day race in February, where there was a restricted number of fans at the Versailles start and none at all at the finish and start lines after that.
