Welsh Premier football will kick off again in February 2022




The National League Board have agreed that the JD Cymru League will re-start the season next month (February 8th-9th) following this decision at the meeting held on Friday, January 7th.
 
However, if both clubs agree to play before the scheduled date, the League will agree to schedule the fixture.

The National League Board’s statement:The JD Cymru South and JD Cymru North will resume from the weekend of 4th / 5th February, but where both Clubs agree to play before this date, the League will agree to schedule the fixture. The National League Board also agreed that all three Leagues will now be able to use five substitutes in all League matches with immediate effect.

“The Welsh Government Coronavirus Regulations do not permit any spectators at professional or elite sporting events and the FAW National League Board acknowledges the significant loss of income that clubs in the JD Cymru Leagues will face with matches taking place behind closed doors.  

“Matches in all Leagues are subject to the FAW’s Return to Play protocols being adhered to and any changes in Welsh Government Coronavirus Regulations.”
