The arrival of coronavirus turned the world upside down, bringing global production to a standstill in 2020 for everyone from retail sellers to top-tier manufacturers. This uncertainty has wiped out the sports calendar for the year, hitting a sector that is crucial for national revenues and public leisure. The scale of the crisis is immense, with more than 3 million confirmed cases worldwide; while 1 million have recovered, over 200,000 lives have been lost. Football was one of the first sports to deal with the reality of the virus through player and staff testing, eventually leading to the suspension of the Premier League and other international tournaments as the pandemic took hold.

Football is the first sport to have mangers and players tested for coronavirus disease, and followed by the Premier League Football Championship for the international teams went on hold due to the awakening of the pandemic crisis.
In a media briefing, French President Emmanuel Macron suggested that football should be put on hold across several countries until the COVID-19 crisis is under control. He specifically called on Italy, Spain, Germany, and England—all of which have been hit hard by the virus—to agree to a suspension of their 2019-2020 league activities until September.
Following the lead of the Netherlands and Belgium, who had already cancelled their schedules, and the suspension of Ligue 1 and 2 in France, President Macron called for a continent-wide pause in football. This sentiment was echoed by French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, who confirmed a nationwide ban on sports. He noted that France would only consider resuming matches after June, depending on how the virus continues to spread. Other major events, including Formula 1 and various tennis tournaments, have also seen their arrangements cancelled as France battles the outbreak. President Macron emphasized the need to practice caution.
