OFFICIAL: Netherlands suspend all domestic football activities until April 6

The KNVB has announced that all football activities in the Netherlands will be suspended until April 6.

The Dutch FA said in a statement: "The previously announced measures by the cabinet to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus have been extended until 6 April. That also means that you can no longer play football in all Dutch competitions of professional and amateur football."

"The consequences for all matches on the field and in the hall, among men, women and youth, can be announced later. Until 6 April, no international matches were planned."

"The cabinet also announced that all sports clubs in the Netherlands must be closed. This applies to all sports accommodations, including the training facilities and stadiums of professional football. The advice of the KNVB, ECV and CED is, of course, to comply with this, to close everything and not to train collectively."

"Before the resumption of competitions, the KNVB takes into account the time it takes for the selections to become fit again."
