Important notice – FOTY dinner postponed
The National Committee of the Football Writers' Association has been in continuing discussions with the game's authorities over the impact of the coronavirus.Given the current suspension of all fixtures and the potential threat to our members, we have taken the decision to postpone the Footballer of the Year Dinner on Thursday May 14.
The Committee considered the health and safety of our members and their guests to be paramount plus the logistical impossibility of holding an awards dinner when the season may still be far from completion.
We will seek to rearrange the event but obviously will be governed by the football calendar and so no replacement date has yet been identified.
We would like to thank The Landmark hotel and general manager, Andrew Batchelor, for their understanding. Also our title sponsors, William Hill who have been supportive of any decisions taken.
Finally, we will continue the tradition of crowning the Footballer of the Year and Women's Footballer of the Year and will provide details of voting procedures and timings at a later date.
