At The Stadium
Let me give you a top tip
Don’t forget to check the requirements for stadium entry on our COVID-19 guidance page before you head to the venue. You’ll need to provide evidence that you’re at a low risk of transmitting COVID-19 to be allowed to enter Wembley Stadium.
Welcome to Wembley Stadium, the venue for eight EURO 2020 fixtures, including both semi-finals and the final.
This EURO will be a little different, so let's work together to get familiar with Wembley Stadium and make sure this tournament is still one to remember for football.
What do I need to enter the stadium apart from my match ticket?
You’ll need your match ticket, your ID (this should be the same as the identification you provided in the ticketing system) and your face covering. You will also need to present evidence that you are at a low risk of transmitting COVID-19. Please make sure you check the COVID-19 guidance for Wembley, as well as our matchday checklist for details.
Please remember, face coverings (covering your mouth and nose) must be worn in the stadium complex at all times.

There are two bag deposits around, the one next to the Yellow Car Park and another on South Way.
A fee of £10 per item applies.

Our team of friendly stewards and volunteer staff are all ready to welcome you. They're always on the lookout for anyone who might need help, so don't be surprised if they pop up and say hello.
Security is a team effort.
As well as all the security measures we have in place, we rely on you to be our extra eyes and ears. When you're on the way to the game and inside the stadium, be aware of your surroundings. Report anything that doesn't seem right straight away to a steward. They'll know what to do and get it checked out. By doing this, you're doing your bit for the team and helping to keep everyone safe.
