The Fiji Football Association says there is a possibility for them to have the Vodafone Premier League, Women’s League and Youth League to carry on without fans in the stands.

CEO, Mohammed Yusuf says if the government says to start the competition without fans then they will do it.

However, he says they will deliberate on what will be the future for its major tournaments.

Meanwhile, countries around the world have said that sporting activities can happen without fans.

The New Zealand government announced a move to National Alert Level 2 yesterday, paving the way for professional sport to resume, without fans in the stands.

In Germany, the German soccer league will resume this weekend but without fans present.

The United Kingdom has announced that no professional sport, even behind closed doors, will be staged in England until 1st June at the earliest.
