Euro 2020: First sporting event to use vaccine passports
Author: Giorgia Francis | Tuesday 8th June 2021
England's Euro 2020 group games at Wembley Stadium will be the first sporting event at which vaccine passports will be used in the UK.
UK-based ticket holders aged 11 or over can show proof of full vaccination, with both doses received at least 14 days before the match.
Those not fully vaccinated must show proof of a negative lateral flow test taken within the previous 48 hours.
England play Croatia in their opening group game on Sunday. All those in attendance must prove their vaccination status via the official NHS App.
Wembley will host a maximum of 22,500 fans - 25% of its capacity - for England's group D fixtures against Croatia, Scotland and Czech Republic.
Ticket holders for matches taking place at Hampden Park will not be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test.
Uefa says its "main priority" is to deliver a safe tournament, and is "working with the local governments and health authorities to ensure measures adhere to the public health guidance of the host country".
