Amateur football at a standstill again? “It doesn’t smell good but being afraid is useless”

This Friday will again be crucial in our kingdom with a new CodeCo on the program. If last time outdoor amateur sport escaped severe measures, this time the screw should be tightened as much as possible. For the first time since the resumption, a temporary cessation of competitions is mentioned. A few hours before the meeting, David Delferière, the man at the head of ACFF, shares his point of view with us.

For him, the room left for doubt is minimal: there will be measures. “Obviously, it does not smell good when you see the indicators increase. But being afraid is useless. As usual, the ACFF will apply the measures that will be imposed”, says the president.

No question, however, that everything will stop definitively because we would start again for a white season since half of the championship matches have only in very rare cases been played. “I hope all the same that we can resume after 15 days or a month otherwise, it will be the disaster. And not only for us. Can you imagine eight months of stop?”

According to the president, however, a decision would raise questions: “What would appeal to me is that we impose a judgment that is applicable immediately, while the clubs have already prepared for the next match, especially in terms of catering, etc.”

What if the refreshments were to close their doors when the football could continue? “It’s another debate … We have always said that without a refreshment bar and without a changing room, we do not play football. The difference between now and a year ago is that the Covid Safe Ticket exists. cons, when I see how some players behave after the match in the refreshment bar, it raises questions. I saw it during a match which I attended. -time, everything was going very well and the rules were respected. “
