The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) announced on Monday that all competitions will be suspended until June 14.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) announced on Monday that all competitions will be suspended until June 14.

The Serie A had hoped for a return on June 13 but the FIGC has pushed back the date in line with a government decree that all competitions be suspended until next month.

The FIGC said the choice was made "pending any further... decision by the authorities", suggesting the possibility of a restart on June 13 might still exist.

The Italian season has been on hold since March 9 but Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on Saturday said he needed "more guarantees" before the green light could be given for football to resume.
