Tunisian 2019-20 Ligue 1 season could resume in August – FTF

Tunisia's football federation (FTF) has revealed the 2019-20 Ligue 1 season could resume in August provided they get clearance from the government.

Football activities have been suspended in the North African country since mid-March following the outbreak of the coronavirus, which is still wreaking havoc around the world.

Tunisia is one of the most affected countries in Africa by the virus with 44 lives lost to the pandemic while more than 1000 cases have been confirmed.
