The United Soccer League will extend its training moratorium for both USL Championship and League one clubs through May 3.
USL initially issued the training moratorium in March, with a goal of returning to play in May. The extension of the moratorium follows a similar move by Major League Soccer, which announced a mid-May restart would be “extremely unlikely” earlier this week.
“Every day we’re working to better understand the effects of COVID-19 on the 2020 USL Championship and League One seasons,” USL spokesperson Ryan Madden said. “While we were hoping that a return to play in May would be possible, we understand that’s no longer feasible given the guidance we’re receiving from local, state and national health authorities.
