All football in Norfolk suspended with immediate effect

All football in Norfolk has been suspended with immediate effect say Norfolk FA.

An emergency board meeting has taken place with the FA Board of Directors taking the decision to suspend all football in Norfolk until the 3rd April.

It also includes organised team training sessions throughout the period.

County Cup fixtures including the Wensum Print Sunday Junior Cup Final and the Norfolk Primary Cup Final due to take place on Friday 20th March and Friday 27th March respectively, have also been postponed.

In addition, our Football Development Facilities (theFDC, Bowthorpe; theFDC@OpenAcademy and theFDC@Flegg) will cease operations from 3pm this afternoon for this period.

This will mean the postponement of all bookings, activities and County 5IVES fixtures taking place at each of the FDC’s and other satellite facilities throughout the county, until Friday 3 April.

All three FDC’s will however be staffed (not open to the public) from 9am-5pm each day this week for customer queries, unless further Government advice is issued that prevents this.

All of our Education Courses and Football Development activities will also be suspended during this time and will result in any courses, training or CPD events scheduled, being re-arranged for a later date.
