England women’s football competitions, initially suspended due to the Coronavirus pandemic, have been put off with immediate effect.

The Football Association says the decision was taken to end the Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship following overwhelming feedback from the clubs and to give them the chance to prepare and focus on next season

Manchester City Ladies were leading the Super League by a point from Chelsea, who had a game in hand.

The FA said no decision had yet been made on how the league winner or relegation to the Women’s Championship would be decided, or how entries for the 2020-21 UEFA Women’s Champions League would be determined.

Aston Villa were 6 points clear at the top of the Women’s Championship.

Top-flight English football’s men’s teams were given permission to resume training in small groups last week but some positive Covid-19 results recorded at the weekend have again thrown spanners in the works concerning the resumption date.
