First Ligue 1 game postponed: PSG vs. Strasbourg

The French Ligue 1 game between RC Strasbourg and champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), which was scheduled for March 7, has been postponed amid the coronavirus outbreak, the French League (LFP) said on Friday.

Strasbourg's Alsace region is one of the worst hit by the coronavirus in France, where 613 cases and nine deaths have been reported.

"Following a decree by the Bas-Rhin prefecture regarding the spread of the coronavirus, the game between Strasbourg and PSG is postponed to a later date," the LFP said in a statement.

It is the first Ligue 1 game to be postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak.

Several other sporting events in the country have been affected.

The Paris marathon, initially scheduled for April 5, was postponed to October 18 and a number of cycling teams pulled out of the Paris-Nice stage race that starts on Sunday.

Alpine skiing Cortina d'Ampezzo World Cup finals cancelled

The alpine skiing World Cup finals in Italy's Cortina d'Ampezzo have been cancelled amid the coronavirus outbreak, the Italian winter sports federation (FISI) said on Friday.

"It's with great regret that I took this decision," said FISI president Flavio Roda after every nation but Italy voted against holding the March 18-22 finals at an International Skiing Federation (FIS) emergency meeting.

"But every member of the council motivated their decision to cancel the finals."

FE Rome ePrix postponed

A Formula Electric (FE) race scheduled for Rome on April 4 will not take place due to the coronavirus, the all-electric series announced on Friday, but alternative venues are being considered.

"We are looking for a replacement for Rome, on the same weekend, somewhere we can race even without a public," series founder Alejandro Agag said.

"We don't know if that's feasible or not," he added. "In the coming days we will make a decision, we have to agree with the International Automobile Federation (FIA). But sadly Rome is not happening."

"As a consequence of the ongoing health emergency in Italy... it will no longer be possible to stage the Rome E-Prix on April 4," Formula E said in a statement.

The next race on the calendar will now be Paris on April 18 and Agag said that remained on schedule providing France remained at its current phase two pre-epidemic level.

"As long as we stay in category two, the event in Paris is fine. If you go to category three, it depends on the timing, how long they (the authorities) declare it (for)," he said.

Women's Scotland-France Six Nations rugby game postponed

The women's Six Nations rugby game between Scotland and France on Saturday in Glasgow has been postponed after a home player tested positive for coronavirus, Scottish rugby said on Friday.

"This decision has been taken together with Scottish Rugby, the French Rugby Federation (FFR) and Six Nations," Scottish Rugby said in a statement.

"The Six Nations CEO has been in constant contact with Scottish Rugby and is in full support of this decision. The Scottish Government has also been briefed."

Scotland's previous game against Italy on February 23 was also postponed amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Scottish Rugby said that seven members of management and players were self-isolating on medical advice and that Sunday's men's game at Murrayfield in Edinburgh would go ahead as planned.
