Ghana and Strasbourg striker Majeed Waris believes the French authorities made the right decision to cancel the 2019/20 Ligue 1 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 seasons will not resume after France banned all sporting events, including behind closed doors, until September.
Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said the 2019/20 sporting season was over as he announced plans to ease France's coronavirus lockdown on 11 May.
Even though disappointing to concluded the season, Waris says the authorities made the right call in bid to fight against the pandemic.
"It is very disappointing, to be honest [that they cancelled the league] because it had been decided that we will not continue the season but if you look at the other aspects, I believe that it is an important thing [that they did it] because if you look at what has happened abroad, people are losing their loved ones and families so it has destroyed everything. If you look at the safety side, I think it is the right thing," he told Adom TV.
The Ghanaian joined Strasbourg from FC Porto in January and has made seven league appearances and scored two goals so far.
