BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgian football defended its decision to end the season in a call with UEFA on Friday after the governing body threatened countries that do not attempt to complete their league campaign with a ban from continental club competition.

Belgium's Pro League on Thursday cancelled the remainder of the season, which has been suspended from last month because of the coronavirus pandemic.

But the league was almost immediately rapped over the knuckles when UEFA told members it was of"paramount importance" that competitions, including domestic leagues, were decided on the field and that stopping should"really be the last resort". "Since participation in UEFA club competitions is determined by the sporting result achieved at the end of a full domestic competition, a premature termination would cast doubts about the fulfilment of such condition," a letter signed by UEFA, the European Club Association and the European Leagues umbrella group said.
