According to the latest news, Premier League is waiting for an official announcement from the tournament organizers about the decision to postpone because of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. However, if you download Betway, you can still follow and update sports news and sports betting until the English Premier League resumes.
After Queen Elizabeth II died, Prince Charles III became the new King of Great Britain and the Commonwealth. Her death is an event premeditated by the British Royal Family through a scheme called “London Bridge”, which will be specific directives for activities throughout the UK territory affected by this event.
The tribute is expected to last for 10 days, and most sporting events will be postponed during that time. In football, the organization of matches is controlled by the Department of Culture, Media and Sports (DCMS). This department will have specific documents for the postponement of matches. Still, in general, Premier League football, the leagues of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales will not take place until the end of the national mourning.
Therefore, if the “London Bridge” plan is implemented on the right schedule, the audience will not be able to watch Premier League football this weekend and next week. And because a series of national teams follow it, the Premier League is considered not to play for the rest of September but will return in early October. However, European cup matches are not affected.
It should be added that the decision to postpone the upcoming 2 series of Premier League matches is still undecided, the British Royal Family and the government have not announced it, and DCMS has therefore not given any instructions to the teams. The British government is expected to meet to make a final decision, and an important part of the decision-making is the big influence of the 2022 World Cup held at the end of next year and the possibility of rescheduling.
The postponement of the round will heavily impact the English Premier League schedule because from now until the 2022 World Cup kicks off near the end of November, there will not be an empty week to rearrange the schedule.
Meanwhile, the match between MU and Real Sociedad in the Europa League is still taking place under the guidance and supervision of UEFA. At the same time, matches in the Champions League in the middle of next week can still take place as usual.
Arsenal’s match against FC Zurich in Germany also took place, but at the beginning of the second half, the “Gunners” players observed a minute of silence in memory of Queen Elizabeth II after receiving the announcement that she had passed away.
In the past, when King George VI (father of Queen Elizabeth) died in 1952, England canceled many sports events, but football still took place. In 1997, after Princess Diana died in an accident, football activities were postponed on both the day of the death and the day of the princess’s funeral, but on other days were still played as normal.
