FA Cup final could be played in September as FA chiefs desperate not to cancel competition
The Football Association are willing to postpone the 2019-20 FA Cup final instead of completely cancelling the competition.
All football games have been suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak that continues to spread. It is likely that Britain will announce a new return date for the competitions, with April 30 seeming to be too early.
Now the FA have made it clear they are determined to finish this year’s FA Cup even if the final game could be delayed till September for the first time ever. It also concerns the other competitions.
The FA said: “With the 2019-20 Emirates FA Cup, Women’s FA Cup, Buildbase FA Trophy and Buildbase FA Vase all at advanced stages, we are reviewing all options as we seek to complete these competitions whenever it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Clubs involved are close to reaching a major final and for those clubs and supporters we will do all we can to keep the Wembley dream alive.
In respect of The FA Youth Cup, The FA County Youth Cup, The FA Sunday Cup and The FA Inter-League Cup, we are also seeking to complete these competitions if it is feasible to do so.
We will also continue planning for FA competitions to take place for the 2020-21 season.”
