Athletic has postponed the return of grassroots football to Lezama due to “the epidemiological situation” created by the coronavirus. The rojiblanco club points out that “in coordination with the health authorities” and also following the indications of the competent sports organizations, it has delayed the incorporation of boys and girls competing in School Sports (juvenile and children's categories) to the month of September.
From Athletic, it is emphasized that this is the “aim of guaranteeing that all the boys and girls of their lower categories can enjoy sports with the maximum possible health security, ensuring all the means, protocols and material measures to comply with the required health requirements in the current situation. “
Similarly, other categories are also affected and will return to Lezama later. The cadet (male and female), youth and Women's C teams, who were scheduled to rejoin from 10 August, will also delay “for a few days” the start of their training. They are “awaiting the evolution of the health situation and the protocols” that may be established by the different sports organizations.
Meanwhile, Basconia and Bilbao Athletic maintain their training start dates for 17 and 20, respectively. Although for them the tagline also remains that “in the same way, they await the sanitary and sports determinations that may be adopted from the different competent bodies.”
