All sporting events in Italy - including all matches in Serie A - are set to be suspended until April 3 due to the growing spread of coronavirus.
Italy's top sports body, the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) called for all sports to be blocked until April 3 and asked the government to issue a decree to enforce the measure.
This would include all matches in Serie A, Italy's highest football division, but does not cover Italian clubs or national teams competing in international competitions such as the Champions League or 2020 European Championships.
In the statement released after a meeting between representatives from all major Italian team sports federations, CONI said: "Health protection is the top priority for everyone."
And Serie A had resumed on Sunday with five games played in empty stadiums. Twelve rounds remain with eight-time defending champions Juventus holding a one-point lead over Lazio at the top of the table.
