On 19 December (today), the Welsh Government announced Wales will enter an alert level 4 lock down from midnight, 20th December, for a minimum of three weeks, which will have an impact on football in Wales.
The Welsh Government has released detailed guidance and a COVID-19 control plan regarding the alert level 4 system that will be imposed.
As a result, football in Wales will be impacted in the following ways:
All non-professional and non-elite (as defined by Sport Wales from time to time) activity, including all junior football, detailed in the FAWs Return to Play Protocols, will be suspended during this period.
The FAW urges everyone to follow the Welsh Government guidelines during the alert level 4 lock down to limit the spread of COVID-19.
The FAW is currently seeking clarification from the Welsh Government on the level of restrictions that will be in place following the end of this lock down period, to ascertain what football activity can resume.
