European Leagues have agreed to completing their domestic competitions by June 30 amidst the coronavirus outbreak.
Most leagues across Europe have been suspended until early April, due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
In a move to complete the domestic seasons across the continent, all 55 nations came in agreement to complete their seasons by June 30.
Earlier in the day, UEFA announced the decision to move the European Championships to 2021.
Following a series of meetings today, UEFA issued a statement: A commitment to complete all domestic and European club competitions by the end of the current sporting season, i.e. 30 June 2020 at the latest, should the situation improve and resuming playing be appropriate and prudent enough.”
Six teams in the Cymru Premier have fixtures left in their season, whilst the other half have seven games to play, along with the Europa League play-offs.
The Welsh Cup semi-finals are due to take place on April 4 and 5.
A number of divisions below the Welsh top flight still have a number of games to complete their season.
The Cymru North and South are also due to meet in May to battle it out to represent Wales in the UEFA Regions Cup.
