I-League set to resume on Mar 3

KOLKATA, Feb 1: The I-League season will resume on March 3, three months after it was suspended due to COVID-19 outbreak inside its bio-bubble here, the All India Football Federation said on Tuesday. The AIFF said the bio-bubble will start functioning again from February 20 onwards and strict COVID-19 protocols will be enforced to ensure the safety of the players and officials. On January 3, the I-League was suspended by the AIFF after a fresh COVID-19 outbreak hit the participating teams inside the bio-bubble here. At the time, a total of 45 virus cases had hit the league which prompted the AIFF to suspend the league for at least six weeks. (PTI)
