Green Light Given For 8000 Fans To Attend Carabao Cup Final

The Carabao Cup final between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur scheduled to take place on April 24 at Wembley will be witnessed by 8000 fans.

Matches in England are currently being contested in empty stadiums because of concerns regarding the coronavirus pandemic but the Carabao Cup final will be used as a test even for the gradual introduction of fans back into the various grounds.

The decider was moved from February 28 to April 24 to allow fans a better chance of attending the game.

Both Spurs and City released similar statements on Sunday, which read: “A limited number of fans will be permitted to attend the Carabao Cup Final at Wembley following the match’s approval as an official test event.

“The Department of Culture, Media and Sport has given the green light for 8,000 spectators to attend as part of the UK Government’s Events Research Programme. A proportion of these tickets will be made available to both finalists.

“Remaining tickets will be for groups including local residents in Brent and similarly NHS staff, who will be offered tickets as a ‘thank-you’ for the incredible service that has been provided during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We are conscious that the final is just three weeks away. We will provide a full update on the size of the Club’s allocation and how to apply for tickets as soon as we have further updates.”
