Hello folks, welcome a new member. So much going on due to the Covid_19 outbreak. So, why not start with a brief report?

Corona pandemic not only affected social and corporate life but also massively impacted sports. Soccer is on the same line of cancellation and delay. If you are a big soccer fan or a punter who always loves to stay up to date with football news, leagues and matches, you might already know how it impacted the sport already. It hits the game so bad that to a football fanatic, everything looks like a total disaster. Games are on the verge of either postpone or pounding on the empty arena.

Here is a brief of postponed football matches, leagues, and events due to corona outbreak:
Champions League, La Liga, Premier League, Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Europa League, internationals and many more affected.
Champions League:
UEFA canceled next week’s Champions League matches.
Champions League last-16 results:
PSG3-2Borussia Dortmund
RB Leipzig4-0Tottenham
Liverpool2-4Atletico Madrid
Valencia4-8Atalanta

La Liga:
All La Liga matches canceled for the next two matchdays - up to April 5 due to #Covid_19.
Copa del Rey final between Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao also postponed which was scheduled on April 18.
Premier League:
The Premier League and the English Football League Championship have postponed all of their matches until April 3 at the earliest due to the outbreak of coronavirus.
Serie A:
The most popular Italian football competition Seria A until April 3 at the earliest. Italy is the most affected country in Europe where the number of death exceeds thousands. Earlier the weekend, Italy's sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora referred Serie A as irresponsible for not postponing the event because of the outbreak. And, obviously, it makes no sense to continue playing when the whole nation is in such crisis.
League 1:
French football leagues League 1 and League 2 postponed till April 15. French League Cup final between Lyon and Paris Saint Germain on April 4 also postponed.
Bundesliga:
German professional football league, Bundesliga suspended all of their matches including this weekend’s matches until April 2.
Europa League:
UEFA suspended all Europa Lague matches alongside the Champions League.

Europa League last-16 first-leg results:

All the domestic football matches suspended in Denmark until March 29.
Ukraine Premier League postponed their matches until April 3.
Czech Football Association suspended all football schedules until further notice.

Nigerian league stopped today! Now all is left to keep eyes on are:
Argentina, Australia, Belarus, Guatemala, Honduras, Russia, Singapore, Turkey, and Ukraine leagues.
 
.... yeah, I definitely saw that the Bundesliga are gearing up for a return. Will be good to get some action after long last. Tedious without any football. ;)
 
In these soccer starved times i was looking forward to the Bundesliga resuming next saturday but now they must wait until at least wednesday for a government review. I'll have to switch my attention back to the Nicaragua reserve league now then, does anyone know where i can find the stats for this lofl!
 
..... have you tried Soccerway, there are four leagues featured there but I don't know if the Reserve League is there. ;)
