[Dr.Drako]

The Brazilian Football Confederation noted that teams are ready to play in early August, even outside their home cities if necessary due to restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Brazilian championship can begin to be played on August 9, according to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), reported this Thursday, after meeting with the 40 clubs that make up the first two divisions in the South American country.

 

Although the biggest obstacle to the completion of the tournament is related to the permits of the municipal and regional health authorities, most of the clubs showed their willingness to play outside their home cities if necessary.

"The return of football depends on the authorization of the health authorities. But, nineteen of the twenty clubs in the first division set out to play outside their cities, ultimately, if the health authorities to date have not authorized their municipalities to play, "said the statement released by the CBF.
The desire of the Confederation is to start the tournament after the regional championships, but they will most likely cross paths, since only the Rio de Janeiro tournament has started its tournament due to the pandemic.

 

If August 9 is kept as the start date, with 38 days, the Brazilian championship will only end in February 2021. Paolo Guerrero, Fernando Pacheco, Kevin Quevedo and Alexander Lecaros are members of Internacional, Fluminense, Goiás and Botafogo, respectively.

 

As for the start of the second division tournament, the scheduled date is Friday, August 8, a day before the league clubs enter the fields.
The CBF announced in mid-March the indefinite suspension of all national competitions due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In principle, the tournaments will be played without an audience and under a specific protocol for health security that has not yet been disclosed by the entity.

 

With almost 55,000 deaths and more than 1.2 million infected, Brazil is the second country in the world worst hit by the pandemic after the United States.
