WSL will resume as FA confirms that all fixtures are possible

The Women’s Super League has been cleared to resume by the FA, after the weekend’s opening round of fixtures was postponed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

The FA released a statement Monday stating that all fixtures in England, including the National League, can be played as planned.

The statement read: “After a period of pause and reflection for our national game, we can confirm that fixtures will resume as scheduled, including matches from the Barclays Women’s Super League and Barclays Women’s Championship, the Emirates FA Cup Second Round Qualifying, Vitality Women’s FA Cup, the National League System (NLS), Steps 1-6, including the Vanarama National Leagues, the Women’s Football Pyramid (WFP), Tiers 3-7, and all matches across grassroots football in England. The Isuzu FA trophy and FA Youth Cup matches will be returning this evening.

“All matches held at stadiums are subject to leagues and clubs working with the relevant authorities to stage these fixtures, as usual practice.

“We will be recommending to clubs, leagues and competitions across the country that a minute’s silence is observed before matches are played, and that black armbands should be worn where possible.

“All flags at Wembley Stadium and St. George’s Park will continue to fly at half-mast this week and over the weekend.

“The FA can also confirm that all scheduled football matches will be postponed on the day of Her Majesty the Queen’s funeral on Monday 19 September.”
