The testing period for Leicester City supporters with tickets to the Emirates FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium to take their lateral flow tests has now begun.

- Leicester City supporters attending the Emirates FA Cup Final must present a negative lateral flow test
- Tests can be taken within 48 hours of entry (from 2:15pm on Thursday 13 May)
- Entry to Wembley Stadium for the game will not be permitted without a negative lateral flow test

Supporters must present a negative lateral flow test to be given entry to Wembley Stadium, with that negative test being taken any time from 2:15pm on Thursday 13 May. Any supporters who have not yet booked their test are urged to do so as soon as possible.

Without exception, entry to Wembley Stadium on matchday is dependent on providing a negative COVID-19 Lateral Flow Device (LFD) test result in conjunction with a form of photo ID. The LFD test must be taken through community test sites, no more than 48 hours before entry to Wembley Stadium.

The negative LFD test result will be checked on arrival by Wembley Stadium stewards at the outer security perimeter via the NHS email or text confirmation received to your phone. A negative result will allow entry to the stadium’s outer concourse.

It is the responsibility of all attendees to organise their own LFD test, which must take place at an asymptomatic community testing site. An LFD test taken at home will not be sufficient to obtain entry to Wembley Stadium.

Details of where your nearest test site is located can be found by clicking the links below. Attendees are encouraged to book their LFD test as soon as possible after purchasing their ticket and to use the opportunity of Thursday afternoon and all-day Friday to avoid a rush of late demand.

LFD testing sites in Leicester and Leicestershire (Once you have considered the eligibility criteria, please proceed to the link to Book an appointment for a lateral flow test.) This site is strongly recommended for supporters living in Leicester and Leicestershire.

LFD testing sites nationally (search for your local area and apply both the ‘Test site requiring booking’ and ‘Test site not requiring booking’ filters under the section titled ‘test site for people without symptoms’).

The above filters will ensure you attend a site that offers on-site staff support. You may need to travel further than your closest asymptomatic (LFD) community test site due to local testing demand.
