English football, from the second to the fourth division, will resume on Tuesday after the weekend’s matches were suspended due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday in Scotland at the age of 96.
Before the start of the game, a minute of silence will be observed in memory of the monarch, flags will be flown at half-staff, the national anthem will be played and the players will wear black armbands on their equipment.
The Premier League has yet to confirm when competition will resume, or whether it will be before Elizabeth II’s funeral on September 19 in London, although some of its clubs are in action this week in UEFA competitions.
Between Tuesday and Thursday, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham play the second round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United and Arsenal play in the Europa League and West Ham in the Europa Conference League.
The Scottish Federation (FA), for its part, has already announced that football will resume next weekend, after no matches were played on September 9, 10 and 11, as a “sign of respect for the death of Queen Elizabeth II. .
Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, after more than 70 years of the longest reign in UK history.
