Coronavirus: Fifa postpones Cameroon vs Chile 2020 Women's Olympic play-off

The 2020 Women's Olympic play-off between Cameroon and Chile earlier billed for April has been postponed indefinitely following the coronavirus pandemic.

The doubleheader between the African giants and the 2018 Copa America Women's Cup runners-up was initially scheduled to be a home-and-away two-legged tie on 9 and 15 April 2020.

However, the Covid-19 outbreak has brought football activities to a halt globally, affecting 163 countries, including Cameroon and Chile with varying numbers of positive cases.

On Tuesday, Fifa announced the decision to temporarily place the playoff on hold in a bid to avoid further health risks and challenges to the teams.
