A group of Thai League 1 clubs have started a campaign to get the domestic league matches postponed in the aftermath of a global coronavirus outbreak which has affected Thailand as well, reports said. Reports said that some top-flight clubs are gathering signatures for a petition, addressed to FAT president Somyot Poompunmuang, seeking a postponement of the league games to a later date. Extra dates for group games were scheduled for May and June, shunting the round of 16, which usually takes place in May, to August. Chinese teams have been mostly sidelined until April, and games involving two South Korean clubs have also been delayed.
