Grassroots football competitions had been placed on a four-week suspension meant to end on April 14, but the lockdown has been extended.
"Since our initial announcement, there have been numerous declarations made by, and introduced, across all levels of Government. The measures have continuously tightened restrictions around community gatherings, and the measures announced by the Prime Minister recently increased these restrictions further," FFA Chief Executive Officer James Johnson said:
"The temporary suspension to sanctioned grassroots football competitions and associated training will remain in place until at least 31 May 2020.
"These are unprecedented times and at this moment, it is very difficult to predict what further measures will be introduced, or for how much longer current measures will be in place."
