“Clubs think the idea is a good one”: Will the Premier League end in Australia?
Due to the crown virus, football in Europe is largely stagnant. In France and the Netherlands, the season even ended early due to security measures.
Currently it is not possible to play in the English Premier League either. The virus has also spread on the island, when it is still unclear when and if the season may end. To avoid termination, several options are currently being examined.

As the “Sun” reports, the rest of the season may even take place in Perth, Australia. British football agent Gary Williams is said to be working hard on this plan. The “Sun” reports that Williams submitted the following proposal to the Premier League:
- All 20 teams fly to Perth. Airlines would be delighted and available.
- All teams are housed in their own hotel and are initially isolated, if necessary, for two weeks.
- The games will take place in several important places in the city. Either without or with a limited number of local fans.
- The number of medical examinations is reduced, possibly to a total of two instead of two per week.
- No police are needed in Australia to monitor the games.
- No need to plan more trips and accommodation. The teams are in the same hotel all the time.
- Families should be allowed to fly to Perth towards the end of the season to obtain an urgently needed rest in a safe place.
- TV broadcasts are not problematic either, play times are set to daily in English.
There are four large stadiums in Perth where the remaining 92 games will be played: the Optus Stadium, the Perth Oval, the Joondalup Arena and the WACA Cricket Stadium.
