Although
all leagues below Step 2 were declared null and void when the seriousness of
the coronavirus outbreak became clear, the game’s governing body is determined
to finish the Vase, as well as the FA Trophy and FA Cup.
This
week, the FA has re-iterated its intention to play the finals at Wembley, and
said it is in close touch with the Government about when playing games with
spectators present might be possible – although this obviously depends on
further lifting of restrictions necessary to stem the pandemic.
It
is understood the FA Vase and FA Trophy finals will still be played on the same
day, and Wembley has been approached about available dates.
Once
agreement has been reached over the finals, dates for the semi-finals will be
arranged, and these are likely to be before the start of any new season.
