SOFIA (Reuters) - The Bulgarian league match between Lokomotiv Plovdiv and CSKA Sofia on Thursday will take place without spectators after Lokomotiv players, officials and dozens of fans tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
The domestic league resumed on June 5 after an almost three-month break due to the COVID-19 pandemic and fans have been able to attend matches unlike in most European leagues.
"We made the decision after talks with the regional health inspectorate, the interior ministry and the owner of the club," District Governor of Plovdiv Region Dani Kanazireva said. Lоkomotiv said that substitute keeper Ilko Pirgov, Austrian striker Kenan Muslimovic and captain Dimitar Iliev were among the infected players.
