The UEFA Europa League fixture in London between Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven has been shifted following policing concerns after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The match was scheduled for this Thursday, a week after the British monarch died aged 96.
“Our UEFA Europa League home fixture against PSV Eindhoven, scheduled for Thursday 15 September, has been postponed,” Arsenal announced today.
‘The postponement follows liaison between UEFA, the Metropolitan Police and ourselves, after the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
“We are working with the authorities to reschedule the match and any tickets (including those purchased via Ticket Exchange or received via Ticket Transfer) and/or hospitality packages purchased for this fixture will be valid for the rescheduled date.”
The Queen’s death and funeral arrangements have severely affected the scheduling of sporting events across Britain.
All Premier League and English Football League matches were cancelled over the weekend, while Rangers’ UEFA Champions League clash with Napoli in Glasgow was moved from Tuesday to Wednesday over security concerns.
There is still uncertainty over when the Premier League and other events will return, with the Queen set to be buried next Monday.
