The Dutch-speaking daily reported on Wednesday that the Belgian Interfederal Olympic Committee (COIB) has submitted a request to the authorities to vaccinate athletes by February or early March for the Tokyo Olympic Games, scheduled for July 23 to August 8, 2021.
Het Laatste Nieuws also added that the Pro League would also have joined in this request. Information denied by the Pro League by press release. “The Pro League would like to clarify that it only asked one question about the timing of the vaccinations, in order to be able to prepare these operations optimally from an organizational point of view,” explained the Pro League. “In no case does professional football ask for preferential treatment.”
