Organizers have suspended Premier League fixtures for this weekend to mourn the death of England’s Queen Elizabeth II.
It was reported that Queen Elizabeth passed away on Thursday, September 8, 2022, at the age of 96.
There were worries earlier after the news broke out that the nonagenarian was placed under medical supervision. Hours after the announcement, the Queen was declared dead.
While condolences are falling in for the Royal family and the United Kingdom, Premier League and EFL announced that all matches earlier scheduled for play this weekend are now postponed to show respect for the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The announcement stated clearly that the suspension includes all matches in the four divisions across the weekend, up to and including Monday night’s Premier League fixture between Leeds United and Southampton.
Starting from Friday (today), the EFL fixtures at Tranmere’s Prenton Park and Burnley’s Turf Moor have been put on hold
