UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin, says if football in Europe is unable to resume by the end of June, the 2019-20 season would probably be announced null by UEFA.

European football has been on a halt for a time due to coroanvirus, with Euro 2020 postponed to a year later. If the situation continues and European leagues cannot resume some time between the end of April and the beginning of June, it is possible that 2019-20 season is announced null by UEFA as the president, Ceferin, says.

"If we don't succeed in restarting, the season will probably be lost," Ceferin told Italian publication La Repubblica.

"There is a plan A, B and C. The three options are to start again in mid-May, in June or at the end of June.

"There is also the possibility of starting again at the beginning of the next [season], starting the following one later. We will see the best solution for leagues and clubs."

Some matches on the continent, including Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund, were played behind closed doors earlier this month, and Ceferin stated playing games without fans in attendance may be the only solution in order to complete the season.

"It's hard for me to imagine all the matches behind closed doors, but we still don't know whether we'll resume, with or without spectators,"

"If there was no alternative, it would be better to finish the championships." said Ceferin in a statement.
