IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING SWITZERLAND TICKETS
Further to recent news of proposed tube strikes on London Underground and after discussions with transport providers, it has been agreed to temporarily suspend the sale of tickets for England v Switzerland at Wembley Stadium connected by EE on Tuesday 8 September.
This move will allow transport providers to ensure they can manage current ticket holders' journey to the stadium on the night of the game.
We continue to work closely with all key stakeholders and any updates will be provided as soon as we have them via TheFA.com.
