ESFA National Cup Competitions 2020: A short statement

ESFA National Cup Competitions 2020

As you are aware, following Government and FA advice, the English Schools’ FA took the decision to suspend all schools’ football earlier this week. We know how hard all of the teams that have taken part in our competitions this season have worked, particularly those of you who are now at the quarter, semi and even national final stage of the cups.

Before schools close today, we wanted to thank you for all of your support for, what has been so far, another fantastic season. We are unsure as yet what the plans for the rest of the Schools’ Football season will be, but please be assured that we will communicate any updates and information to you at our earliest opportunity. For this reason, please ensure that we have up to date contact details for you saved on the portal.

In the meantime, please take care and we hope to bring Schools’ Football back to you in the near future when it is deemed safe and practical to do so.

Kindest regards,

The ESFA Team

ESFA Suspends All Football

Further to recent correspondence with regard to the Covid-19 virus, the ESFA continues to follow government and FA advice. Please therefore note that all schools’ football organized by the national body and its member Associations is to be postponed for the foreseeable future.

Schools are advised to follow the latest advice from the DfE with regard to their activities. The ESFA will continue to monitor the national advice and the guidance from The FA, and updates will be communicated via website and social media.

Thank you for your ongoing support and co-operation.
