Football League calls off weekend games as a mark of respect

0

This weekend’s English Football League fixtures, including Port Vale’s game at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday, have been postponed as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-serving monarch, died on Thursday aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.

A Football League statement said:

Further to discussions on Friday morning it has been determined that all EFL fixtures from 9-10 September will be postponed as a mark of respect by the National Sport to the passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth II.

This is aligned with the approach that the Premier League and the FA will take with their competitions this weekend.

Further information, in respect of how football, Clubs and their supporters will commemorate Her Majesty’s reign will be confirmed at an appropriate point.

Details regarding rearranged games will be announced in due course.
