Turkey to resume football in June, host Champions League final in August
Two months ago European football's governing body UEFA indefinitely postponed the final, which had been scheduled to be played in Istanbul in May.
Turkish Football Federation chairman Nihat Ozdemir also said Turkey's domestic football league would resume from June 12 and aims to complete the season on July 26. The schedule would involve 7 weekend games and 1 weekday match. Teams will play their matches in their own cities and own stadiums, he said, adding that no consideration had been given to playing matches in a single city.
"God willing, we will complete our own leagues at the end of July. We will hand over our cups on the pitch and then we will cap the season off by hosting the UEFA Champions League final in August," Ozdemir told a televised news conference.
