Sports bodies warn Covid-19 crisis could cause ‘lost generation of activity.’

The leaders of more than 100 sports bodies have written to Prime Minister Boris Johnson to ask for emergency funding, warning of “a lost generation of activity” because of coronavirus.

The coalition of organisations says they are “united in our concern that at a time when our role should be central to the nation’s recovery, the future of the sector is perilous”.

In a letter seen by BBC Sport, the group urges the government to provide a “sports recovery fund” so the sector can “survive and stabilise”.
