FAI set June 28 target start date for Women's National League

The FAI have set a target date of June 28 for the start of the Women's National League.

The season was due to begin on March 14 but has been delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

For now, the League of Ireland remains on track for a June 19 resumption with the women’s league to start the following week.

An FAI statement read: “The League will be played over two rounds of fixtures, 16 games per team, with the FAI Women’s Senior Cup to run in tandem with the League season.

“The League Cup will be deferred for this season. The Women's National League will finish on the weekend ending December 13th.”

All football under the jurisdiction of the FAI is in lockdown until at least April 19.
