The organizers of the 2020/2021 Carabao Cup have pushed back the date of the final from February to April 2021, in the hope that more supporters will be able to attend Wembley on the new set date.
The initial date for the kickoff of the final had been scheduled for February 28 but is now set to be played on 25 April 2021.
In confirming the decision, the EFL said: “It is the objective of the League to stage the final with as many supporters in attendance as possible and the decision has therefore been taken to move the final from its original date of Sunday 28 February 2021 to later in the year.
“The number of fans permitted will be dependent on Government guidance in place at the time and it is hoped that moving the date to later in the year will give clubs and their fans the best opportunity to attend in person.”
The decision came about after the introduction of new tier-four coronavirus restrictions in large parts of south-eastern and eastern England at the weekend.
