BOGOTA: Colombian President Ivan Duque dismissed on Tuesday the idea of restarting the county's football league behind closed doors, saying to do so would endanger the health of players and staff.
The South American nation declared a public health emergency on Mar 12 and suspended all public events, including the main soccer leagues for both men and women.Although some European clubs have begun training again in the hope of finishing the season, the Colombian president said even talking about restarting the league without testing was neither viable nor responsible.
His words came a day after the Colombian Football Federation and the league organisers sent a protocol for restarting the competitions to the government for its review.
