Eid ul Fitr (Monday 2nd May)

As agreed at the League’s AGM if Eid ul Fitr or Eid ul Adha fall on a fixture day for most of the clubs, all the fixture would be cancelled and 6 points will be awarded to all teams.

A number of North African and Middle Eastern countries have already announced that they expect to celebrate (inshallah) Eid ul Fitr on Monday, 2nd May which would indicate that the Sunday fixtures will go ahead as planned and the Crescent Fixtures planned for the 2nd May are most likely to be cancelled and awarded 6 points. We will monitor the situation during this week and update club as soon as possible.
