“We will, therefore, with immediate effect, suspend all soccer activities (practices, friendly games, attendance to tournaments, etc) until further notice. We will keep communicating with the group chats if there are further or new developments. The livelihood and health of all our members and connected persons is our highest priority. We encourage that our players remain physically active during this time as this not only keeps you fit but may also keep the body strong to fight against health threats. We thank you for your cooperation in this regard and hope for united action in fighting this battle,” she added.
