- LPF has a clear objective: to resume the current season and play all the remaining matches to be played;
- Matches will be played in the absence of spectators;
- There is no doubt that 16 teams will participate in the next season of League 1: the current format will be maintained.
Today, the LPF published the dates when the League 1 season could resume: it is approximately June 6, while the last stage would be played on July 26. In addition to this program released by LPF, Justin Ștefan’s statements reached TV Telekom Sport:
“We have a clear objective, that is, to play all the remaining matches that will be played this season.. Only in this way can we keep the contract we currently have unchanged, especially in terms of the amount that our media partner will pay. A decrease in the number of matches is not taken into account. “
Justin Ștefan: “From now on we will talk about football without spectators”
The League 1 season will probably resume on the Bundesliga model: without spectators, strictly with the number of people needed for the matches. 239 people, more precisely, including the people behind the scenes of the stadiums, as well as those on the sidelines and in the stands.
Justin Stefan explained this topic: “It is clear that for a long time we will talk about football without spectators.. I think the number of 240 people refers, rather, to those who join the party in the organization, in the area of participation. In no case to the audience. “
The number of teams in League 1 will remain the same.
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an intense possibility that the season would end prematurely, and the next edition would start with the first 2 teams in the second league. However, the League Secretary General denied this option:
“I don’t think that today, at a time of economic problems, the problem of increasing the number of teams can arise.” Once because would decrease the television rights collected by each League 1 club And second, if more teams come up to me in League 2, they may not have the financial stability to ensure continuity in League 1.
So far we have not faced a scenario that could appear at some point, to withdraw a team during the championship. In League 2 there are many teams financed with public money, we have problems with public financing. The system we have now in League 1 is functional. “
