PARIS (Reuters) - The French football league is facing a number of issues such as who gets to be named champions, who gets promoted and relegated after the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 seasons were ended amid the COVID-19 crisis with 10 games left.

The LFP board will meet on Thursday to "study the sporting and economic consequences of the measures announced by the prime minister", it said on Tuesday night after Edouard Philippe said the 2019-20 professional season could 'not return'.
