All Matters Relating to FOBG and the COVID-19 Pandemic
FA Update on 'Non-elite' Football
Almost all legal restrictions of social contact have been removed; however, the Government is encouraging people to act with caution. Our guidance has therefore been updated to reflect this.
The summary key points are:
- On field adaptions for playing football are no longer required.
- No limits of how many people can meet.
- The "one metre plus rule" no longer applies.
- The definition of close contact remains the same; however, the rules on self-isolation have changed.
- Face coverings are no longer required by law, but recommended in crowded indoor settings and may be mandated by some clubs or facility providers.
- Changing rooms can be used; however, participants should use their own judgement and minimise use where possible to avoid close contact in a crowded area for a prolonged time.
- No capacity limits for spectators but good practice is encouraged.
- Hospitality is permitted without restrictions.
- NHS Test and Trace QR codes are not required by law but are encouraged.
- No domestic travel restrictions. Participants should continue to follow Government advice on international travel for any fixtures/tournaments.
