In light of the death of the Queen, all grassroots fixtures planned for this weekend have been postponed.

The Queen died on Thursday, September 8, and the nation is under a period of mourning. As a mark of respect, all fixtures have been cancelled.

In a statement, the FA said: “Her Majesty the Queen was a long-standing Patron of the Football Association and has left a lasting 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 Championship, the Vitality Women’s FA Cup, and the Isuzu FA Trophy, will be postponed this weekend.

The EFL have also suspended all fixtures this weekend.
