Firebreak Lockdown and
Football in Wales
Yesterday (19th October 2020), the Welsh Government announced a
“firebreak” National Lockdown from 6:00pm on Friday, 23rd October 2020
until Monday, 9th November 2020 that will have an impact on
football in Wales.
The Welsh Government has released
a detailed set of
frequently asked questions about the

As a result, football in Wales will be impacted in the following
ways:
-
All non-professional clubs must pause all training and
match activities in this period. This includes adult, youth,
academy, junior and mini football.
-
Clubs with a sufficient amount of professional players,
coaches and operational staff in the JD Cymru Premier - as defined
by the Welsh Government guidelines - will have their fixtures
re-arranged to allow them to continue playing against each other. A
revised television schedule for these matches will be published on
CymruFootball.Wales in due course.
-
Due to the suspension of the ‘elite programme’, the JD
Cymru Premier will postpone all matches involving non-professional
clubs during this period. Training during this time is also not
permitted.
-
All Orchard Welsh Premier Women’s League matches during
this period will be postponed. Training during this time is also not
permitted.
The FAW urges everyone to follow the
Welsh Government guidelines during the firebreak lockdown to limit
the spread of COVID-19.

activity can resume from 9 November.
