<p>Tackling the covid-19 outbreak is the Government’s top priority, and unfortunately
the actions taken to do so have meant that sports events have had to be postponed
or cancelled. We are in regular contact with the sport sector - including football
clubs - on the financial consequences of this for organisations.</p><p>The Government
has announced a comprehensive and sizable package of direct fiscal support for business
through tax reliefs, cash grants and employee wage support.</p><p> </p><p>It is also
vital that the football community comes together at this time, and I welcomed the
Premier League announcement to advance funds of £125 million to the EFL and National
League to help clubs throughout the football pyramid.</p><p> </p>
