An important message to our fans and larger football community

In light of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and the Indian government’s preventive measures to tackle the same, we at Chennaiyin FC would urge everyone to respect and adhere to the 21-day nationwide lockdown announced by Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi (March 25 onwards).

Furthermore, please take note and follow the directives of your respective state and local authorities following PM Modi’s address.

Please stay at home, work from home and practice social distancing strictly for everyone’s collective well-being. Let us be responsible citizens during these unprecedented times.

It is important for us NOT to panic. NOT to believe and NOT to spread any fake news surrounding the virus.

This period is a test of our resolve. And we are all on the same side.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the COVID-19 pandemic around the world. With a hope that they along with everyone impacted by the virus find strength to power through and come out on top after this challenging phase.

Stay safe. Stay at home. Stay in touch with your loved ones around the world, but virtually. Practice social distancing. And this too shall pass.
