Council of Europe says Fifa must help to protect 2030 tournament
WITH the men’s Bundesliga divisions one and two having recommenced last weekend, German football is now turning its attention to restarting play in the women’s top-flight and the men’s third division.
In doing so it is setting an example to the rest of Europe, and especially to England.
The DFB (German FA) announced this week that the Women’s Bundesliga and the Women’s DFB-Pokal (FA Cup equivalent) will restart from May 29. The men’s 3 Liga, meanwhile, will resume its 2019/20 season a day later.
Two teams from different sides of the world will face off this weekend in a landmark football occasion. One team from the Americas, another from Europe, will meet in an exhibition of the world’s game that is being broadcast across the globe, writes JAMES NALTON
