French Football To Return On July 31 With Coupe De La Ligue Final
Posted by E.L.E.X on June 27 2020 under Sports
The postponed Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue finals will take place on July 24 and 31, respectively, the French Football Federation (FFF) has confirmed.
Both matches were postponed in April due to the coronavirus pandemic, with prime minister Edouard Philippe announcing all sporting events had been halted in an attempt to control the spread of Covid-19.
Although that led to the premature conclusion of Ligue 1, with final places in the table decided on a points-per-game basis, the FFF delayed a decision regarding the two cup finals, giving rise to the possibility the showpiece events could go ahead at a later date.
With the virus largely under control in France, provisional dates in late July were put forward as possibilities.
The FFF confirmed those dates on Friday, with the Coupe de France final between Paris Saint-Germain and Saint-Etienne set for July 24.
PSG will then contest the Coupe de la Ligue finale a week later, with Lyon their opponents on that occasion.
The French champions recently returned to training, with three players and a member of the club’s staff testing positive for the coronavirus.
