Elite football in Britain has been suspended until at least 3 April as a result of the spread of coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All games in England’s Premier League, EFL, Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship, plus in\u00a0Scotland,Wales\u00a0and\u00a0Northern Ireland,\u00a0are postponed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Premier League said play will start on 4 April subject to “conditions at the time”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But BBC sports editor Dan Roan says resuming on the date is privately deemed “almost impossible”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FA chairman Greg Clarke is known to have expressed his fear at Friday’s emergency meeting that the season may have to be abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

England’s international friendly matches against Italy on 27 March and Denmark four days later are off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EFL, which hopes to resume play a day earlier than the Premier League on 3 April, said clubs were also advised to suspend “non-essential activities” such as “player appearances, training ground visits and fan meetings”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Euro 2020 play-offs have also\u00a0moved closer to being postponed\u00a0after Fifa recommended that all impending internationals should be called off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic are all scheduled to play their semi-finals on 26 March, with the finals five days later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
