Iran Women Football League Postponed
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Women Football League has been postponed over coronavirus concerns.
The league will resume after Norouz (Iranian New Year) holidays in April.
Deaths in Iran from coronavirus have hit 43, the highest number outside China, and the total number of infected people has risen to 593, an Iranian health official said on Saturday.
The virus has infected more than 80,000 people around the world, including over 77,000 in China. More than 2,600 people have died in China’s central Hubei province alone.
The outbreak has had a major impact on the global sporting calendar, with a host of events canceled or postponed, and raised alarm bells for Tokyo Olympics organizers.
