English Football Shutdown After Queen Elizabeth II's Death Slammed As 'Missed Opportunity' To Pay Tribute

13.09.2022 - 06:19 sports.ndtv.com

English football chiefs have been criticised for postponing all matches this weekend following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, with the decision labelled a "missed opportunity" to pay tribute to the nation's longest-serving monarch.

After the Queen died aged 96 on Thursday, the Premier League opted to cancel this weekend's fixtures in consultation with the British government.

Football chiefs were told by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on Friday that there was no obligation to cancel or postpone sporting fixtures during the national mourning period.

But the Premier League felt it was the right move to honour the Queen for her "extraordinary life and contribution to the nation".
