FA Women’s Championship to continue throughout lockdown

The Football Association have today released the following statement:

STARTS

Ahead of the upcoming national lockdown, The Football Association is working with the UK government, clubs and key stakeholders to continue the Barclays FA Women’s Super League and FA Women’s Championship seasons under the elite sport guidance and protocols. Our number one priority remains the safety and welfare of everyone involved in our game. A special thanks to all women’s football fans for their ongoing support during these challenging times.

Whilst the Barclays FA WSL and FA Women’s Championship will continue, ‘non-elite’ football, which includes Tiers 3-7 of the Women’s Football Pyramid, the Regional NLS Feeder Leagues, the Barclays FA WSL Academy League, FA Girls Regional Talent Clubs, indoor and outdoor grassroots fixtures and all training, is to be paused during this period. as a result of the new UK Government restrictions.

 Further updates on fixtures and dates for the 2020/21 Vitality Women’s FA Cup will follow in due course.
