Premier League release statement and confirm fixture decision after Queen Elizabeth II’s death
[ad_1]
The English Premier League have cancelled this weekend’s fixtures following the death of the Queen despite the UK government stating they were under no obligation to do so.
According to a report by Daily Mail, the English Premier League released a statement saying they had made the decision to cancel this weekend’s fixtures to honour Queen Elizabeth’s extraordinary life and contribution to the nation.
According to the source, there were also concerns that policing and security issues would affect the games if they were to go ahead as planned on the weekend.
The Premier League have said that further updates regarding the cancelled fixtures during the period of mourning will be provided in due course.
It is important to note that the cancellation of the entire match day 7 fixture could create congestion later in the season as there are no free midweeks between now and the midwinter break for the World Cup which begins in Qatar just seven days after the Premier League pauses.
