<p>The department continues to meet with the football authorities, including The Football
Association (FA), on a range of matters including the return of spectators.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>Coronavirus has presented many challenges for sport, and the sector’s
success thus far at maintaining their competitive programmes should be commended.
The FA is responsible for the scheduling of its competitions, including Non-league
Finals Day, as well as preparations for the return of spectators.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Football
is clearly not the same without fans, which is why we will look to get spectators
back to outdoor stadiums in a safe and manageable way. We will continue to engage
with the sector as we progress along the Roadmap, and look forward to welcoming spectators
back to stadia across the country from step 3 of the Roadmap.</p><p><strong><p><p></strong></p>
