The provisional date of the first weekend in April for the resumption of professional football has been pushed almost a month further on until “no earlier than 30 April”, the Premier League, Football Association, EFL and women’s professional game have said in a joint statement.
The announcement, which emphasises that public health is the overriding priority in the coronavirus crisis, was made after an emergency conference call with the 20 Premier League clubs. The FA said it had “extended indefinitely” the date for the season to conclude after its board sanctioned a relaxation of the standard 1 June finish date given the unprecedented circumstances caused by the pandemic.
