Italian Federation president Gianni Petrucci said that the association aims to complete the 2019-2020 season in the country’s leagues once authorities give the green light for it. All sports events in the country have been suspended until Apri 3.

“Our intention, also hearing the presidents of the Leagues, is to resume the championships to demonstrate that life can continue. We will have to wait for the results of what the scientists and the Italian government will tell us. However, our will is to complete the season and different systems [for it] are being examined,” Petrucci said in an interview with Resto del Carlino, per Bologna Basket.
