Football Federation of Sri Lanka (FFSL) president Anura de Silva said that their biggest challenge following the Coronavirus outbreak was rebuilding and reorganising football to face similar situations in the future.
“Depending on the outcome of the current Covid-19 situation faced globally we are currently making plans for the next six months,” said De Silva.
“So far all our qualification matches globally have been postponed and hopefully we will be able to overcome this situation in the next few months,” he said.
“Football is a spectator based sport and we need to reorganize and plan how to conduct our matches in the future by controlling spectators considering the social distancing.
“We need teamwork to combat the Coronavirus, and the FFSL is always ready to combat the current issues with the government stakeholders because health comes first. I call upon the football community to follow the guidelines and interact with the government.
“The biggest support we can give is to follow the guidelines given by the government. At the moment we were happy with the government’s progress so far compared with that of other nations who are fighting the dreaded disease,” De Silva said.
