Due to the tense corona situation, the Federal Foreign Office continues to warn “against unnecessary tourist trips to the United Kingdom”, which has been a virus variant area since May 23 because of the delta variant. Germany is on a list of British authorities divided into three colors in the middle category “amber”: This means that an online registration must be made before entering the country (via www.einreiseanmeldung.de); A current, negative Covid-19 test must be available upon entry, further tests are required before or on the second day and, if applicable, on or after the eighth day after entry.

Returnees to Germany have to be in a strict 14-day quarantine
Particularly problematic for Germany fans: A domestic quarantine of ten days with the possibility of free testing on day five after entry would be required. That means that viewers after this bill would have to travel to Great Britain on Thursday in order to theoretically be free to be free on the day of the match – provided that the result of the PCR test is available in good time before arrival at the stadium. Or they have to already live in the UK, because then logically the entry restrictions will no longer apply.
The return journey must also take place under difficult conditions. There is a compulsory corona test, the test must already be carried out in Great Britain. A PCR test may be a maximum of 72 hours old, the rapid antigen test a maximum of 24 hours old. This mandatory test applies to people aged six and over and also to those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered. Returnees have to go to a 14-day quarantine in Germany, which also applies to those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered; free testing is not possible here.
Experts are currently generally warning against traveling to the British Isles. “Anyone traveling to Great Britain runs the risk of being infected with the Delta variant. We can assume that 95 percent of all Covid diseases in Great Britain are due to the Delta variant,” said the Chairman of the World Medical Association, Frank Ulrich Montgomery, the editorial network Germany (RND). Even for those who have been vaccinated, he considers a trip to London “irresponsible” in the current situation.

Anyone who made their way to London despite these difficulties must also observe special regulations around the stadium: Ticket holders must submit a negative corona test at the arena via text message or email, which is no more than 48 hours old (at the time the stadium gates are opened three hours before the start of the game). Children up to the age of eleven are exempt from these regulations. The so-called “Mobile Match Ticket”, ID card and mouth and nose protection are also required for entry into the stadium.
