Salford City set for Wembley in postponed EFL Trophy final
Last year's final had to be postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The EFL has confirmed plans for an action-packed ‘Wembley Weekender’ of football in March for the 2020 and 2021 Papa John’s Trophy Finals.
In an EFL Trophy first, the two finals will be played in succession over the weekend of 13th-14th March 2021, with last year’s postponed match between Portsmouth and Salford City taking place first on Saturday 13th March.
That will be followed by the 2021 Final on Sunday 14th March.
Both matches will be staged at Wembley Stadium, kicking-off at 3pm.
The 2020 final between Portsmouth and Salford City was originally due to take place in March 2020 but was postponed due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
The 2021 Papa John’s Trophy competition is currently at the Semi-Final stages with Lincoln City, Oxford United, Sunderland AFC and Tranmere Rovers remaining in the competition.
The draw for the Semi-Finals will be made live on Sky Sports tomorrow night at approximately 7:45pm in-between the two live EFL matches.
Semi-Final ties will be played on Tuesday 16 February 2021 and Wednesday 17 February with both fixtures kicking-off at 6pm and live on Sky Sports.
