Following the government’s intention to extend the tightened closure, the eighth round of the State Cup, which was expected to be played this coming weekend, is expected to be postponed again. The government is expected to convene tomorrow (Sunday) and extend the tightened closure in a few days, with some calling for an extension in about a week.
In light of this, when the Ministry of Health refuses to give concessions, the director of the football leagues does not intend to take the risk that Israeli football can find itself disabled from all activities, when even so it is very difficult to find time to place the postponed games.
As is well known, the lower leagues also take part in the state cup, which at this stage are not allowed to return to play due to the tight closure. Therefore, in order not to be in a situation where the closure, for example, will be extended until Thursday, then the government will convene and extend it in a few days according to the morbidity data, the administration is expected earlier this week together with the Football Association The super, which was supposed to be on a break from league games.
All this is meant so that they do not find themselves in a situation of having to postpone the games at the last minute, that it will no longer be possible to stroke league games, which as it is known football is now on a crazy schedule due to closures and morbidity in some teams.
