The fateful day of Israeli football is underway. Last night (Monday), difficult talks were held between the chairman of the league, Erez Kalfon, and representatives of the Ministry of Health regarding the return of the sport, despite the apparent extension of the closure in the country. You will lead to the economic and sporting collapse of teams. ”
As reported yesterday, it seems that if football does not return this coming weekend, Kalfon may announce the end of his term. Currently, there is a request to continue the closure for another ten days. Meaning: Losing three league rounds. The two options facing the principal in the first stage are a reduction of five games from the playoffs, i.e. one round. The second stage is the break of the league, which means that teams will not be able to reach Europe.
Internal talks claim that there is a minimal change in the trend, but this morning they will have to convince Health Minister Yuli Edelstein on the issue, and then Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The captains of the teams are expected to join during the day for the protest, as well as many players who will flood the social networks in this matter.
At this point, the goal is to fight for everything, but it could be that ahead of the meeting itself which is scheduled to take place at 1pm, a compromise proposal that only the senior leagues in football and basketball will return. The principal clarifies: “Agreements must be complied with, as we are facing the Ministry of Health. Let everyone understand that it is not possible to play in June, the UEFA will not approve this because all leagues end on time. “A sporting and economic disaster is what awaits everyone if football does not return this weekend.”
