English football agrees to ditch match tributes for unrelated global events
Governing bodies had formed group to look at tributes
Authorities criticised over commemoration policies
English football authorities have agreed they will no longer hold minute’s silences or other forms of commemoration for events that do not directly relate to the game.
The decision was made jointly by the EFL, FA and Premier League following the creation of a new committee, the World Events Working Group (WEWG), to assess the sport’s response to global events such as natural disasters and terror incidents.
