The Professional
\nFootball League has announced on its website that it would submit a proposal to
\nthe Government regarding the resumption of the domestic championship at the end
\nof the state of emergency. In a press release, League Secretary General Justin
\nStefan claims the risk of losing millions of euros in TV broadcasting rights
\nshould create a consensus amidst the 14 clubs enrolled in the first league, in
\norder to complete the 2019-2020 football season on the pitch. Football competitions
\nwere suspended originally until March 31, then the Emergency Committee of the
\nRomanian Football Federation postponed them again pending the lifting of the
\nstate of emergency imposed to prevent the coronavirus pandemic from spreading.
\nThe Competition Department of the Professional Football League submitted to the
\nFederation a timetable with all remaining football rounds until the end of the
\nseason, which is due to resume on June 5.<\/p>\n

The Romanian
\nwomen’s handball team will play directly in the 2020 European Championship,
\nslated for December in Norway and Denmark. All preliminary matches have been
\ncanceled by the European Handball Federation. In the current preliminaries
\nRomania had four rounds left to play and had two wins in two matches in a Group
\nalongside Poland, Ukraine and the Faeroe Islands. The draw for the Championship
\nwill be held on June 18 in Vienna. The EHF also concluded that continental
\ncompetitions can resume in June. Under these circumstances matches counting
\ntowards the round of 16 and quarterfinals of the men’s Champions League have
\nbeen canceled. Dinamo Bucharest was due to compete in the round of 16 against
\nParis Saint-Germain of France. Unfortunately it will thus leave the
\ncompetition, despite reporting not a single defeat in this year’s edition. The
\nmen’s Final Four tournament will be held in Koln on December 28-29 and will
\nfeature the top four teams in Groups A and B, namely Barcelona, Paris
\nSaint-Germain, Kiel and Veszprem. <\/p>\n

Let us further
\nnote that the Romanian Handball Federation has made public the official
\ntimetable for the resumption of domestic competitions at the end of the state
\nof emergency. The first matches will thus take place on May 31 in the men’s
\ncompetition and on June 10 in the women’s competition. <\/p>\n
