FIFA studying coronavirus impact on schedules, player contracts

(Reuters) - World soccer governing body FIFA said on Monday that it was looking into the potential impact postponed fixtures would have on player contracts after the coronavirus outbreak suspended leagues across Europe and the rest of the world.

The big five leagues in Europe -- in England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France -- have all been suspended, as have the Champions League and Europa League, adding to a potential fixture pile-up should the competitions resume later this year.

"FIFA is analysing the current situation and the potential impact it may have on all areas of football. More information will follow in due course," a FIFA spokesperson told Reuters. The off-season transfer window is also set to open when the season ends, casting doubt over whether players will be allowed to move on before the current season reaches a conclusion.
