In the latter days of April, all sporting events in France were cancelled until September to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Following that announcement, Ligue 1 moved to void their season and brought it all to an abrupt end.
It comes off as a rushed decision considering the likes of the Premier League, La Liga and the Serie A are all gearing up to join the Bundesliga in restarting their season.
Lyon, Amiens and Toulouse are among the sides that have threatened to take legal action against the decision to end their season.
And now UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin says there might still be a way to solve it all.
Ceferin wrote in an official UEFA communication on Friday as quoted by Goal: “We would first of all like to clarify that it is the competence of national associations to decide on the format of their domestic competitions, in particular by taking into account the circumstances and restrictive measures specific to the country.
“As mentioned by UEFA a few weeks ago, the French authorities’ decision to cancel the Ligue 1 season was taken relatively early.
“Nevertheless, and provided that the national associations are able to coordinate with the competent national authorities a potential restart of domestic competition, August 2, 2020, would be an appropriate date to end the domestic competitions.”
