Amid the shuttering of professional sports leagues around the world there is one league that will restart its season in the near future. I recently read about the Turkmenistan soccer league that will restart its suspended season even amid the coronavirus pandemic. Turkmenistan is located right next door to Iran, which is one of the worst-hit countries in that region. The eight-team Turkmenistan league is even allowing fans to attend games once the league restarts. Despite its location near Iran, Turkmenistan has yet to report a case of coronavirus, which has casted doubt upon the country. The Turkmenistan league is one of a handful, including the much publicized Belrausian Premier League, that will continue to play amid the the global pandemic.
