Sporting Events Cancelled Due to Coronavirus


Sporting Events Cancelled Due to Coronavirus

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, major sporting events globally have been postponed and, in some cases, cancelled. Our favourite sporting champions are staying safely in their homes, while event organisers are respecting the “no large gatherings” rule. This is to protect both the fans and the athletes.

There are many major sporting events where sports organisers simply don’t know when their matches and games will be returning to their respective competitive turf. Any sort of travel is also teetering in the unknown, and sporting events will not see the spectatorship that they are accustomed to. Many tickets that were purchased for these events have been refunded, or postponed until further notice.

From the Two Oceans Marathon being cancelled, to the popular Tokyo Olympics postponed for a year, Coronavirus has drastically affected the world of sport.
