It seems very strange that when the rest of the world are in hiding, Thailand football has boldly announced it will resume on 18th April. https://thaileague.co.th/announcements- ... 4Om8_kZ1AY

Totally dumbfounded by this decision, I can only assume matches will be played behind closed doors, although reading many football supporters sites, Thai fans are convinced that footie is back, no holds barred.

The start of the 2020 Indian Premier League season has been delayed from 29 March to 15 April as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
