Statement: Widnes FC

The Northern Premier League was saddened to receive notice of Widnes FC’s resignation from the league with immediate effect.
The club has issued a statement today confirming the withdrawal of its men’s first team from all competitions.
As the league is now constituted, the effect of Widnes’ resignation is that the NPL Premier Division will now be made up of 21 clubs for the 2025/26 season.
A decision on relegation positions will be made by the FA Operations Committee for Steps 1-4, that has the sole decision making powers in this respect.
The NPL’s commiserations and best wishes for the future go to Widnes FC chairman Ian Ross and his colleagues, the club’s volunteers and fans.
