The Maccabi GB-affiliated football leagues have made April 11 their goal to relaunch following the government announcement that grassroots games can resume from the end of March.

Each competition will be responsible for its own health and safety protocols and further guidance is awaited from the relevant FAs before the kick-off date is confirmed.

Maccabi GB CEO Ashley Lerner paid tribute to the league steering committees for their “tremendous work” during the crisis.

They would be reconvening over the coming days to discuss registrations and check the availability and condition of pitches and other facilities.
