During March 2020, the COVID-19 coronavirus forced most football leagues around the world to suspend their fixtures.
It goes without saying that this was absolutely the right thing to do, in order to save as many lives as possible, but football traders were left with no fixtures anywhere in the world... except for Belarus!
At Goal Profits, our Team Stats software covers 80 worldwide leagues. We track everything from the English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A and Spanish La Liga right down to much smaller league competitions which play over the summer months.
It's not always easy to find the latest information for smaller leagues, but we had members all over the world sending local news. On this page, we shared all the latest information which was updated daily.
Thankfully, the footballing world has mostly settled in to the 'new normal' but there are still a few suspended leagues.
