Chinese Super League Postponed for Corona Virus

DBasia.news –  Asian football and the Chinese Super League were affected by the corona virus outbreak, which has recently become a hot topic of public discussion.

As reported by Goal, the Chinese Super Cup match between Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai Shenhua, which is scheduled to start on February 5, 2020, will be postponed. Another match at the Chinese Super League on February 22, 2020 will also be postponed.

The delay was made while waiting for the Chinese Football Association to discuss with local authorities. Not only that, the match of the Asian Champions League that brought Shanghai SIPG and Buriram United on January 28, 2020 is also potentially postponed.

The play-off match was postponed as Shanghai hosted the leg system. It is yet to be known when the postponed match will resume. In fact, the corona virus outbreak also changed the schedule for the Women’s Football Qualification matches for the 2020 Olympics.

The match, which involved Australia, Thailand, Taiwan, which was originally played in early February in Wuhan, was moved to Nanjing. As is known, Wuhan is the center of the spread of the corona virus outbreak.

The city with a population of 11 million is the seventh most popular city in China, located in the capital city of Hubei, a province in central China. Wuhan, which is famous for the Yangtze River, has the Wuhan Zall football club that plays in the Chinese Super League.

Until this news was created, as many as 26 people have died, 800 people contracted the virus, and more than 1,000 cases were thought to have occurred due to the corona virus. The effect of its spread is so vast that it has reached Japan, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea and the United States.

The Chinese government reportedly has cared for 41 million people in 13 cities to prevent the corona virus outbreak from spreading even further.
