How will V-League play after the Covid-19 pandemic?
VPF President Tran Anh Tu said that there will be no perfect solution after a long break due to the Covid-19 epidemic and the most important thing is to have the consensus of all clubs. The problem is that no one knows for sure when the ball will roll in absolute safety, although VPF has given a timeline from May 15 to play the National Cup and after 1 week of playing V-League.

Mr. Hai also officially gave the green light to organize a shortened V-League instead of taking place in the old way of two round-trip matches that took a lot of time. Assuming the ball rolls in early June as planned, the tournament will only take about 4 months to complete, compared to the usual 8 months, alternating with breaks for the national team to concentrate.
