Covid Woes for the Football World

A big concern in the giant world of football is the still present concern of Covid-19. Two of the biggest leagues, LaLiga in Spain and the Premier League in England, did not want their players to play internationally for their countries, especially those who would’ve played in hotspot countries such as Brazil.

The Premier League went as far as to temporarily not allow players to play for their countries, but it was short lived after discussing it with FIFA Officials, the group that sets up the World Cup, which will be taking place in Qatar.
