Association was very interested in the possibility of starting the season after
a forced one-month break before the national team break. “The negotiations
with representatives of the Ministry of Health and the Chief Hygienist were
constructive and I am glad that we found a solution in which we are able to
return to the championship matches," said Dušan Svoboda, Chairman of
the LFA.
The new version of the Protocol of Measures
will, among other things, talk about the obligation to test at least 48 hours
before kick-off time by the PCR method. "It's a shorter time than we've
applied in previous periods, and it can cause logistical problems for away teams.
Nevertheless, I believe that clubs can handle this as well. Above all, we are
glad that we can play matches again after a month, for which we owe a big thank
you to the Chief Hygienist, the Minister and all persons at the Ministry of
Health who participated in this permission for football," added
Svoboda. In the two highest competitions the matches of the 7th round can take
place on the dates, as already determined by the LFA on Tuesday.
