Belgian cup final back on and set for Aug. 1

Thursday 28 May 2020

Champions Club Bruges will meet Royal Antwerp in the Belgian Cup final on Aug. 1 despite the rest of the 2019-20 season having been called off, the Belgian football association said on Thursday.

The match will take place behind closed doors at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.

The decision was announced after the two clubs, the Belgian Pro League and football association met with city officials to sort out arrangements and police and security services gave a green light.

The final was originally supposed to be played on March 22 but was called off at the start of the COVID-19 health crisis.

Belgium has since ended its season early with Club Bruges declared champions.
