Capital Football suspended all football activity from 5pm on Thursday.

It comes after a confirmed COVID-19 case was recorded in Canberra.

The Wanderers' senior men's teams were due to travel to Canberra on Saturday to take on the seventh-placed Weston Molonglo at Woden Park.

That game will no longer go ahead, with Capital Football yet to decide what happens to round 18 fixtures.

The Wanderers' senior women's team was due to host West Canberra Wanderers at Gissing Oval on Sunday, a fixture that will also no longer take place as scheduled.
