Serie A selects June 13 as return date

Serie A clubs have selected June 13 as the date the league is set to return from its coronavirus suspension. 

After a videoconference with all 20 clubs on Wednesday, a large majority selected June 13 as the resumption date over the other option, June 20. 

The Italian top flight still requires government approval before it can officially confirm play will resume on June 13.

“Regarding the resumption of sporting activity, the date of June 13 June for the resumption of the championship was indicated, in accordance with government decisions and in accordance with the medical protocols for the protection of players and all professionals,” a statement from Serie A said.

Serie A has been on hiatus since March due to the coronavirus pandemic, with Italy one of the countries hardest hit by the virus.
