JAKARTA - The pandemic COVID-19 or the corona virus that has not ended has made football schedules fall apart. Russia decided to extend the suspension of matches until May 31.

The decision was taken by the Russian football association RFU on Wednesday after they held an executive committee meeting.

"We have decided to postpone all sporting events until May 31," said RFU president Alexander Dyukov on their official website.

Prior to that extension, matches were expected to resume on April 10.

"At the moment we do not plan to end the competition early," said league president Sergei Pryadkin.

As in other European countries, the question of cutting wages from Russian footballers is now being discussed, said Pryakin, while praising Spartak Moscow.

The club will be the first to announce a pay cut.

They said players agreed to receive wages reduced by 40 per cent during the national lockdown period until the club began training sessions again.
