Sporting action has been suspended in most countries due to lockdowns combating the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Premier League and EFL are determined to play out the season, possibly deep into summer.
And the National League, NL North and NL South, plus the WSL and Women’s Championship, today pledged to do the same – “as quickly as possible”.
