All scheduled matches across different levels were postponed to mourn the sad demise of the Queen. However, the Football Association has decided to resume its activities as scheduled for the upcoming week. The most recent England Football Association statement reads: "Last weekend, English football united together to honour and remember Her Majesty the Queen. We would like to express our thanks and gratitude to everyone across our game for their support and understanding as we paid respect to our long-standing Patron of The Football Association, Queen Elizabeth II." The statement confirmed that the planned schedule of the Women's Super League, Women’s Championship and the second round qualifiers of the FA Cup will be held on time as normalcy returns after a state of mourning. The statement added that a minute's silence must be kept before the beginning of the match and players should wear a black armband in remembrance of the Queen: "All matches held at stadiums are subject to leagues and clubs working with the relevant authorities to stage these fixtures, as usual practice. "We will be recommending to clubs, leagues and competitions across the country that a minute’s silence is observed before matches are played, and that black armbands should be worn where possible. All flags at Wembley Stadium and St. George’s Park will continue to fly at half-mast this week and over the weekend."
