All set for summer football

Football clubs can expect to return to football by the end of July after the Football Association of Wales gave the green light to summer football.

Seasons normally start mid-August, but with Covid-19 cancelling most of the action over the past year, the FAW’s National Leagues Board (NLB) has confirmed the start dates for National Leagues competitions for the 2021/22 season. 

They have stated that the leagues can start earlier due to the likelihood of a third wave of Covid-19 this winter which could again disrupt the season. 

“Therefore, the FAW is looking to maximise the playing opportunities where possible in the 2021/22 season, whilst taking into account the possible threat of further interruptions to competitions,” a spokesperson said.
