MADRID, May 11 -- Spain's La Liga, which had been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is planned to be resumed on June 12, the Spanish AS sports news portal reported on Monday.
According to the media outlet, the final decision on the date will be taken by the country's Health Ministry and the reserve date is June 19, if the situation requires further delay.
La Liga president Javier Tebas had said that he wanted to resume the games on June 12, both in the top-flight and in the Segunda Division, but added that this would depend on the coronavirus situation in the country.
Last week, La Liga announced the resumption of individual training at camps of football clubs.
The football clubs conducted 2,500 tests for coronavirus among their players, according to the Spanish Movistar broadcaster.
