TAMPA, Fla. (April 16, 2020) – The United Soccer League announced today it has extended its training moratorium for USL Championship and League One clubs through, and including, Sunday, May 3rd.

USL is working closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), other local, state and national health authorities, the USL Players Association, and professional sports organizations from across the country to ensure the health and wellness of players, staff and supporters remains our top priority.  We will provide additional updates as soon as they become available.

As an organization, we greatly appreciate the support and understanding of all USL Championship and League One fans across the country and look forward to being back in action again soon.

Holding Statement:
“USL is monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and working daily to better understand its effects on the 2020 USL Championship and League One seasons. While we were hoping that a return to play in May would be possible, we understand that it is no longer feasible given the guidance being received from local, state and national health authorities. As such, we will use the next two to three weeks to further assess the situation and gather the information needed to make an informed decision on an appropriate extension to the leagues’ current temporary suspension timeline. As things stand today, we are still in a position to reschedule all matches affected by the COVID-19 situation to date. However, the health and wellness of our communities is our guiding light, and we will continue to work on additional contingency plans and competition structures should they become needed.”
