Confirmed: Portsmouth's Wembley return against Salford postponed
Pompey's trip to Wembley has officially been postponed due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.
The EFL Board has agreed that the Leasing.com Trophy final between the Blues and Salford on Sunday 5 April, will no longer take place.
Pompey have sold more than 50,000 tickets for their return to Wembley, having beaten Sunderland on penalties to clinch the silverware last season.
All elite football is currently postponed until April 3 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
An EFL statement said: ‘This is appropriate given the scale and significance of the event to the football calendar, new sponsor Leasing.com, the EFL, both Clubs involved and their supporters.
‘Over 50,000 tickets have been sold for the showpiece final, and the EFL does not want to be in a position whereby many thousands of supporters are forced to change their plans at late notice, so the decision has been taken in the best interest of all parties.
‘All ticket holders will be notified of the new date as soon as possible.’
