Australian football shareholders reached an agreement for the resumption of Hyundai A-League 2019/2020 season in July.

The decision was announced by Australian Football Federation on Thursday.

''Football Federation Australia (FFA) CEO James Johnson confirmed today that FFA, the Hyundai A-League clubs and Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) have reached agreement on a comprehensive plan for the re-start of the Hyundai A-League 2019/20 season,'' it said.

"Ideally mid-June will see players return to training, allowing them to reach the required elite level of fitness for competitive matches to commence by mid-July, and for the Hyundai A-League Finals Series to be completed by mid-August,'' CEO James Johnson added.

Australia's Hyundai A-League was paused in March due to coronavirus fears in the country.
