Taiwan league to start on April 11 without fans
Print Edition
Taiwan’s Chinese Professional Baseball League will start on April 11 despite the global coronavirus pandemic, with games on the opening day to be played behind closed doors.
The sport’s governing body said games in the five-team league’s season-opening weekend will be played without fans, with the situation due to be assessed on a round-by-round basis. The opening game of the CPBL season was originally due to be played on March 28. To abide by rules set out by health authorities, the CPBL has said it will limit attendances to 150 fans once games are opened up to the public. Temperature screening will take place, with fans encouraged to keep their distance from one another and to wear face masks. Sporting events both in the region and worldwide have taken a severe hit from the coronavirus. Football leagues in China, Japan and South Korea have all been postponed, while the world athletics indoor championships to be hosted by China as well as the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai are among numerous events to have been affected.
