Accordingly, FIFA will be adaptable and will allow the transfer windows to be moved. So that they fall between the end of the old season and the start of the new one.

Although this will not solve every problem, it should serve to bring stability and clarity to football in the foreseeable future. We hope that these joint efforts under the leadership of FIFA can be a positive example of how football can come together and demonstrate unity. Solidarity and the spirit of compromise to confront the coming difficult times. But before these times come, everyone should understand one thing, especially now: health comes first, well before football.”
