A statement that could calm the ardor of the Algerian Federation (FAF) and the Professional Football League (LFP). These two entities are working on the resumption Algerian championships (League 1 and 2) after their suspensions since March 16 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. A decision that does not require the assent of Dr. Mohamed Bekkat Berkani, a member of the National Commission for Monitoring and Monitoring the Evolution of the New Coronavirus Pandemic.

Dr. Berkani, also president of the National Council of the Medical Association, is against a resumption of sports activities in Algeria.

“There has been a partial deconfinement, the authorization of assemblies has not yet been decreed.

“So I think it would be better to cancel the sports season, in order to preserve everyone’s health. The health situation in the country is stable, but not yet controllable, “he told the APS.

He did not hesitate to give solid arguments to support his point of view.

“I am convinced that the health protocol will not be respected by the clubs … The situation should not be further complicated by relaunching sports competition.”

“Football is a contact sport, so the risk is everywhere: on the bench, in the locker room and in the sports arena in general.”

“So, I plead for a postponement where the cancellation of the season is the best decision we can make today. “

Will the FAF and the LFP stay in their recovery dynamic? They have already planned everything for the start of the classes of the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 clubs in order to end this very unusual 2019-2020 season.
