Polish Ekstraklasa set to return in May as government approve coronavirus plan

A five-step schedule from the league and Poland's Football Association has been given the go-ahead after weeks of planning

The Polish Ekstraklasa is set to resume at the end of May after a plan from the league and the country's Football Association (PZPN) was approved by the Polish government.

Marcin Animucki, president of the board of the Ekstraklasa, says play could start again on May 29 if the five-step plan goes ahead as planned.

The first step of the process has already been implemented. On Monday, April 20, all players and coaching staff from the Ekstraklasa’s 16 teams went into self-isolation at home, a phase which will continue for two weeks with clubs sending daily health reports.
