Following the Government’s announcement on Monday 16 March for people to avoid social gatherings and non-essential travel where possible, and in line with Football Association advice, the Staffordshire Football Association are advising that all affiliated football activity within the county is postponed for the foreseeable future.

This advice applies to all matches (including friendlies) and training sessions until further notice. Throughout this period since the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19), the Football Association and the Staffordshire Football Association have taken Government advice with the priority being the health and well-being of all.

Both will continue to work closely with the grassroots game during this time. The Football Association are in regular communication with the Government and the situation within English Football at all levels remains under regular review.

We will be providing regular updates through our social media channels @staffordshirefa on twitter or Staffordshire Football Association on Facebook. The Staffordshire Football Association will remain operational and can be contacted through the main office number or email support@staffordshirefa.com but face to face meetings will not take place until further notice.
