NON-ELITE football in England will be halted during the second national lockdown period, the Football Association has announced. The suspension also covers matches and training in regional NLS feeder leagues, the Women’s Super League academy league, FA girls regional talent clubs and indoor and outdoor youth and adult grassroots football. The suspension comes into effect from Thursday, with the new restrictions set to last until at least December 2. ‘Restarting football at these levels has taken substantial determination and commitment from stakeholders across the game and The FA would like to thank everyone for their vital contributions,’ a statement from the governing body read. ‘The nature of our sport is that it may be enjoyed outdoors with adequate social distancing and Covid-secure protocols.
