TIER 4 FA ANNOUNCEMENT

Please see below recent FA Statement published this evening, following the government’s announcement today in respect of the Tier 4 areas:

Further to the government’s announcement on Saturday 19 December with regards to the introduction of Tier 4 areas and the latest information on COVID-19, we have issued the following update.

The government’s Tier 4 guidance states organised outdoor sport for under-18s and disabled sport will be allowed. The government’s guidelines on travel between tiers should be adhered to. Players in Tier 4 cannot play or train in Tiers 1, 2 or 3.

It is extremely important that clubs, players, coaches, match officials, league officials, volunteers, parents, carers, and facility providers in Tiers 1 to 3 continue to strictly follow both the UK Government's latest guidance on COVID-19 and respective bespoke guidance documents from The FA. Any incidents of non-compliance will be reported to the local County Football Association.
