FA confirm decision to end seasons in some non-league and women's leagues

The Football Association has confirmed their decision to end the 2019-20 campaign in some non-league and women's leagues, while cancelling all grassroots competitions.

English football has been on hiatus across all levels due to the coronavirus outbreak since March, with it not yet known for certain if it will be safe for football to resume in any capacity over the summer.

Europe was named the official epicentre for Covid-19 last month, and there have been 60,733 confirmed cases in the United Kingdom to date, with 7,097 deaths recorded.
