Being able to close the first leg with most of the matches postponed on the basis of a prior agreement between the companies concerned and a few due to Covid, is a source of satisfaction for the regional FIGC president Ermes Canciani: “It was a very important as the clubs have shown themselves to be very responsible and prepared to observe the protocols both as regards managers and players, and as regards the fans ». “At present, the new directives in health care – continues Canciani – are not intended to produce regulatory upheavals, other than the obligation to use the FFP2 masks to attend matches, but I reserve the right to carefully evaluate the evolution of the situation “.

Can postponing the start of the second round to mid-February be a viable solution? “The activity of the youth sector has been postponed to Sunday 9 February while for the Promotion, First and Second category championships, after having scrupulously analyzed what happened in the first part of the championship – with very few games not played due to Covid -, I believe not there is a need to postpone the recovery also because – Canciani specifies – a move would cause organizational problems for the whole activity (Tournament of the regions and finals of the various cups). In the Northern Area, the resumption of the championships was set for Sunday 9 January so Friuli in this context becomes an exception, restarting seven days later, but it is understood that the Regional Committee will carefully evaluate the evolution of the pandemic, following scrupulous to what will be the health directives and in this context a fundamental role will be played by the clubs as their behavior will greatly affect the opportunities to play the second part of the championship, albeit with all possible precautions ». –
