The Hungarian
Government has decreed that the salary of soccer players can be reduced by
clubs by a maximum of 70%. The decree determines that at the end of the state
of emergency due to the coronavirus,
the salaries of soccer players must be restored to their previous level.
Regarding the competition in the Hungarian first division (NB1), the recently re-elected president
of the Federation (MLSZ), Sándor Csányi, has assured in an interview that the
championship can be concluded if the matches are resumed before June 13.
"We estimate that the championship can be ended if we
can start playing the pending matches before June 13," Csányi told the
digital sports newspaper "nemzetisport."
The president added that the reopening of the league should
be announced three weeks earlier so that teams can begin training.
On March 11, it was announced that soccer matches would be played behind closed doors, without an
audience, but 4 days later the MLSZ decided to cancel the championship
indefinitely and asked the teams to do the same with training.
The first league (NB1) is currently led by Ferencváros with
53 points, ahead of Mol Fehárvár (50) and Mezökövesd Zsóri (45).
