Teams train without testing

In May, BFA declared the season complete, citing prohibitive costs as reason for not playing the full campaign. Then, the BFA said that the most ideal time for football to return would be when there is a vaccine.

“Without these (vaccine and proven effective treatment) a safe return can be possible with serial COVID-19 testing hence we advise that we exercise patience in observing the disease evolution and in dealing with the matter bearing in mind that we have a limited testing capacity nationally to allow a compulsory regular pre-match (coronavirus) COVID-19 testing for all teams,” the BFA medical committee said in May.
