Tehran, May 2:
Iran Professional League (IPL) chiefs are considering ways to complete the 2019-20 season in a safe and secure way without endangering anyone’s life amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Tehran Times reported on Saturday.
Majid Jalali, a senior Iranian soccer coach, believes that there is no option but to resume the IPL matches.
“Anything other than that requires making tough decisions,” he said in his interview with Tehran Times.
The IPL is yet to reveal how it plans to finish its season after it was halted due to coronavirus, with Persepolis sitting 10 points clear at the top with nine games remaining. But it seems that continuing the schedule in a safe manner, subject to government approval, would be the best solution.
