Supporters visiting Cardiff City, Swansea City or Newport County during the 2021/22 season are advised that they will need to ‘Be Prepared’ and take with them valid COVID passes to gain access to stadia when in Wales.


It is a Welsh Government requirement for any football supporter aged 18 or over travelling to watch their team play Cardiff City, Swansea City or Newport County to present a valid COVID pass as they enter the stadium.

Each club has its own dedicated page relating to their COVID Pass policies, and the EFL urges all supporters planning to attend to familiarise themselves with all the key information in advance of the fixture.

Derby County will visit Cardiff City on Saturday 18th December 2021 (12:30pm kick-off) and supporters are strongly advised to digest the information produced by Cardiff City, while in addition photo identification may be required.

Matches in England...

Currently, there is no requirement for certification at fixtures in England; however, with the UK Government preparing for a potential ‘Plan B’ scenario as part of its Autumn & Winter Plan, the EFL is urging supporters to ‘Be Prepared’ for the possibility of COVID pass requirements being introduced in the future.

Further information will be issued if this is made mandatory by the Government at any point.
