The Union of European football associations (UEFA) has threatened not to allow to the next draw of the European Cup the clubs in those countries where national Champions will be announced ahead of time, without the tour, remaining unfinished. Thus managing the football continental organization, reacted to the decision of the Belgian Pro League, which is Europe’s first recommended to terminate the national championship because of the pandemic coronavirus and recognize him as the winner of “Bruges”.UEFA and the leading clubs of Europe will do everything to bring the current football season to end. This is stated in a joint letter to UEFA, the European clubs Association (ECA), which set the tone of the richest teams of Europe and the organization for European Leagues, representing nearly a thousand clubs from 29 countries. They stated that they are considering the possibility to extend the season until July or even to August, and threatened that the teams of those countries in which internal competition will end prematurely, may be excluded from the following draws of the Champions League and Europa League.”Stop the competition should be the last step, recognition of the fact that any alternative may not allow for the completion of the season, the letter says.— We believe that football can be restarted in the coming months, and we believe any decision about early completion of the internal competition at this stage unjustified”.This letter appeared the next day after the Belgian Pro League announced the early completion of the tournament. Justifying this decision, adopted unanimously, it declared that the carrying out of matches until June 30, extremely unlikely, and after this date will not be effective. For one round before the end of the second round of the championship of Belgium in the first place is Brugge, which is 15 points ahead of “the Gent”, of his nearest pursuer. Thus, according to the regulations, upon completion of the second round of the six leaders begins a new two-round competition which are not taken into account the points scored previously.In a statement, the Pro League said that in the current public health crisis she urged UEFA “to a variety of approach-specific leagues and countries.” Formally, the decision of the Pro League is a recommendation. It has yet to formally approve the April 15 General Assembly Royal Belgian football Association.UEFA, however, insists on its position that under the circumstances “requires the joint management of calendars, since the completion of the season must be coordinated with the new”. This is logical, because the lack of synchronized action between all stakeholders in the process of creating a calendar can cause conflict, such that��th recently emerged in tennis, where the organizers of the Open championship of France before the completion of consultations with the International tennis Federation and the professional tours announced the postponement of the start of its tournament from may to September.One group was asked to examine the legal and financial consequences of the crisis, the other — to develop a new calendar. On the second in the last video conference that the leadership of UEFA on 1 April held with representatives of all its member national federations, it was announced that the decision on the most viable version of the end of the season can be taken until mid-may. Recall that in addition to the national Championships is required to complete the draws of Euro cups. In the Champions League in the 1/8 finals they are going to play 12 matches out of 16 and the Europa League — only six.Eugene Fedyakov
