The Belgian government announced Wednesday it was suspending all sporting competitions until July 31, effectively putting an end to the country's football season as favoured by most clubs.
The decision was acknowledged by the Pro League, the association of Belgian clubs, which will review the "end of season terms and conditions" during its general assembly scheduled on May 15.
Club Brugge, who were 15 points clear with 11 matches to play, would become Belgian champions if the league is declared over.
"The Pro League takes note of the decision taken today by the National Security Council which plans to cancel professional football competitions until July 31," it said in a statement.
"It goes without saying that the Pro League and its clubs will respect this decision."
