The WIFA (Western India Football Association) has decided to suspend the WIFA Women’s Football League 2021-22, which is currently in progress at the Cooperage football ground.
A WIFA release mentioned that the decision was taken as the Government of Maharashtra has released its Revised Guidelines in regards to the COVID-19 protocols to be implemented in the state.
The government through its guidelines for Sporting Competitive Events has stated that all sporting events except National and International level competitions, which are in progress, should be deferred in the State. It has been directed that no District or City level sports camps, competitions, or events should be organised until further notice.
The release further states that taking into consideration the above orders of the government, WIFA decided to suspend the WFL, until fresh guidelines are received from the Government of Maharashtra.
Earlier, WIFA after receiving phone calls from concerned parents of children participating in the WFL had cancelled the matches which were scheduled to be played on Sunday.
