UEFA president labels Ligue 1 cancellation as "premature"

AC

PA Images | "It's not an ideal thing because things can improve a lot and everybody can play except a few leagues. But again, if it's the decision of the government, what can the clubs do? Or the league? They cannot do anything. But for me the decision was premature. But it doesn't affect UEFA, so it's their decision," said UEFA's president, Aleksander Ceferin.

It is up to the French league and authorities to deal with the potential legal fallout from the decision.

UEFA is working on adaptations to the Financial Fair Play regulations.
