STATEMENT FROM THE FA
Her Majesty the Queen was a long-standing Patron of The Football Association and has left a lasting and indelible legacy on our national game.
As a mark of respect, following the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, English football has united to postpone all football fixtures between 9-11 September.
The FA can confirm that all football fixtures across the Barclays Women’s Super League, Barclays Women’s Championship, the Vitality Women’s FA Cup, and the Isuzu FA Trophy, will be postponed this weekend. We can also confirm that all football fixtures across the National League System [NLS], Steps 1-6, including the Vanarama National Leagues, the Women’s Football Pyramid [WFP], Tiers 3-7, and matches across grassroots football in England will be postponed.
The Premier League and the EFL have all confirmed that their fixtures this weekend will be rescheduled for a later date.
All flags at Wembley Stadium and St. George’s Park will continue to fly at half-mast over the weekend.
Our thoughts remain with our president, HRH The Duke of Cambridge, and the whole of the Royal Family during this time.
STATEMENT FROM NORFOLK FA
Everybody at Norfolk FA is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Her Majesty The Queen, and support the decision for football to unite in marking respect to our Country's longest serving monarch and long-standing Patron to our National Governing Body.
As part of this action, which results in all fixtures scheduled for 9th-11th September being postponed, we can also confirm that our three Football Development Centre [FDC] facilities will close from 4pm this evening and will reopen again on Monday 12th September.
Our thoughts and condolences remain with The Royal Family, and everyone around the world mourning this tremendous loss, during this extremely sad time.
Queen Elizabeth II 1926 - 2022
