La Liga To Resume On June 8 Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
Pedro Sanchez, Spain’s prime minister, has approved June 8 as resumption for La Liga league, after three months of shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The 2019-20 Spanish league season has been suspended since March 12 when a state of emergency was declared in the country.
Sanchez on Saturday gave the green light for football to return in the European country, saying;
Spain has done what it needed to do and now new horizons can open for everyone. The time has come to recover many of our daily activities. From June 8 La Liga will be able to return. Spanish football has a huge following but it will not be the only recreation activity that will return.
La Liga also confirmed this on Twitter;
The Spanish government has given the green light for the return of professional sport – including #LaLigaSantander and #LaLigaSmartBank – as of June 8th, following guidelines from the Ministry of Health.
