(AFP File Photo)LONDON: The FA Cup final is scheduled to take place on Aug 1 after the English Football Association announced provisional dates to finish the competition on Friday. After the Premier League revealed its plans to resume the season starting on June 17, the FA Cup has now returned to an English fixture list thrown into chaos by the coronavirus. The FA Cup was halted before the quarter-finals because of the pandemic, but tournament organisers hope to complete it alongside the Premier League. The semi-finals will be played on July 11 and 12, with the intention being for those matches and the final to be played at Wembley as usual.
