Norwich City supporters travelling to The Valley for Sunday’s FA Cup game against Charlton Athletic (2pm KO) should be aware of the following entry requirements and COVID guidelines.
- Supporters without valid COVID certification will not be permitted entry to the stadium
- Supporters should arrive early to allow extra time to enter the stadium
- Face coverings must be worn in indoor areas of the stadium
It is now a legal requirement for supporters attending The Valley to show evidence of COVID certification, such as an NHS COVID pass.
Supporters under the age of 18 are exempt and do not have to present certification.
A valid COVID pass is deemed to be a digital NHS COVID pass, a paper NHS COVID pass, or proof of a recent negative Lateral Flow Test result. It is each supporter’s responsibility to acquire the necessary COVID Pass (for further guidance on obtaining a pass click here).
Supporters utilising a digital NHS COVID Pass should both utilise the app and download a copy to their smartphone’s wallet or photo reel (should there be no phone signal), and print a physical copy, to avoid any problems.
Supporters using a paper NHS COVID Pass must produce the original printed copy on the day of the fixture (a photo/photocopy will not be accepted).
The Government has determined that proof of a negative lateral flow test will also be accepted as certification. This should be taken within 72 hours of kick off to prove their Covid-19 status.
All fans will have their COVID certification checked prior to entry into the stadium. Checks will be taking place at the turnstiles and at the entrance to hospitality lounges.
You must not attend if you, or anyone attending with you, is suffering from COVID-19 symptoms, feels unwell, or is required to self-isolate.
In the event you develop COVID-19 symptoms whilst at the stadium, please notify the nearest steward immediately, who will direct you to the appropriate medical facility.
It is club policy that all supporters over 11 years of age must bring a face cover to wear in all indoor areas, unless otherwise exempt. Government guidelines state that members of the public are expected to wear face coverings in any crowded and enclosed spaces, where in close contact with others.
Face covers can be removed once in your seat area and/or while eating or drinking.
Please note that cash payments will not be accepted at the ground.
