France is considering restarting Ligue 1 on June 3 or June 17, with the latter date more likely, according to sports daily L'Equipe, who cited a document from league organisers (LFP). Soccer in France was suspended indefinitely last month due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On Monday French President Emmanuel Macron extended the lockdown in the country to May 11. The French Cup final between Paris St Germain and St Etienne has been scheduled for June 27, according to the document, while the League Cup final between PSG and Olympique Lyonnais had been pencilled in for July 11.
