NPCC joint statement with English footballing authorities on fixtures this weekend

Following discussions, the majority of games across the men’s football pyramid, along with all WSL games, will go ahead this weekend.

Chief Constable Mark Roberts, NPCC Lead for Football Policing, said:

“I am grateful for the discussions we’ve had with the Premier League, English Football League and Football Association.

“These talks have supported us in our commitment to police the national events following the death of Her Majesty the Queen, whilst also enabling the majority of games to take place this weekend as scheduled.

“It is unfortunate that a small number of fixtures have had to be postponed, but I am sure fans will understand the reasons why this decision has been taken.”
