Major League Soccer has suspended match play for 30 days, effective immediately, as the league continues to assess the impact of COVID-19 with its medical task force and public health officials, according to an announcement today.
The decision affects Sporting Kansas City, located in Kansas City, Kansas.
At the appropriate time, the league and clubs will communicate plans for the continuation of the 2020 season and update the status of league events, according to the announcement.
“Our clubs were united today in the decision to temporarily suspend our season – based on the advice and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), and other public health authorities, and in the best interest of our fans, players, officials and employees,” MLS Commissioner Don Garber said. “We’d like to thank our fans for their continued support during this challenging time.”
