“We would love to host the 2020 season, as it would be a huge impact for our Island’s economy. However, the health and safety of Islanders always comes first. There are many health guidelines and restrictions that need to be reviewed and approved by our chief medical health office. Once these are approved, we will put together a package to bid as a host for the CPL.”P.E.I. had been looking to host several HFX Wanderers games prior to the pandemic.
The eight-team CPL was scheduled to start its second season on April 11 but postponed the kickoff on March 20, saying it was following Canada Soccer’s decision to suspend all sanctioned soccer activities — and COVID-19 directives by governments and health officials banning public gatherings during the global pandemic.
