Due to the coronavirus crisis, the Swiss Football League will be postponed until further notice. The 20 clubs made this decision at a meeting in Bern on Monday.
The Federal Council decided last Friday to immediately ban all events with more than 1,000 people until at least March 15, 2020. Thereupon the Swiss Football League decided to postpone all games of the 24th round.
This Monday the 20 clubs discussed various solutions intensively and decided to put the championship on hold until March 23. If the authorities do not extend the ban on events beyond March 15th, the championship will be resumed and continued as usual.
The option of running the games without fans was also discussed. The clubs decided against this step for economic reasons.
The SFL continues to monitor the situation and in close consultation with the clubs, partners and the authorities. If anything changes, the SFL will provide further information via its communication channels.
