Clubs in Japan’s cutting-edge football league have agreed that the last two places will not be eliminated at the end of this season. The decision was made because they could only play one round in the Japanese league before it was suspended on February 23 due to the epidemic.

The nine teams want to ensure that the rules currently in place are maintained next year, and that changes with significant costs and long planning and development times only take effect from 2022 onwards.

AK Barsz Kazany, who remained standing in the playoffs of the Russian-based hockey tournament (KHL), turned to lead the league by canceling the rest of the season instead of the break scheduled for April 10 and not announcing a winner. The club says players and staff want to travel home to their families as soon as possible, and there is no moral basis to prevent this. Due to the resignation of Finnish Jokerit Helsinki and Kazakh Baris Nur-Sultan, six exclusively Russian teams currently compete in the KHL quarterfinals: AK Barsz Kazany, SZKA Saint Petersburg, Siberia, Salavat Ufa, CSKA Moscow and Dinamo Moscow.
