Chelsea to ask fans for proof of vaccination or Covid test ahead of men's and women's home games

Chelsea have told supporters they must provide proof of double vaccination or a negative Covid test before attending men's and women's home games this season.

Chelsea made the announcement on Wednesday morning, adding the checks will be in place in time for their men's team's first home game of the season, a friendly against Tottenham on August 4.

The club say the plans will ensure only those who are at low risk of transmitting Covid will be able to enter either Stamford Bridge or Kingsmeadow.

They added: "This is to increase the safety and comfort of our supporters, players and staff as we begin hosting capacity crowds for the first time since March last year."

Chelsea supporters will need to prove their second vaccination took place at least two weeks before the match they are attending, or provide proof of a negative lateral flow test taken within 48 hours of the game.

The checks will be carried out by stewards before fans enter the stadium.

Chelsea's move comes just days after PA Media reported that the government and the Premier League were in talks over proposals that would prevent fans who are not vaccinated from going to games.
