Use this guide to help you plan the best way to get to and from the match and to make the most of things such as the Fanzone while you are in the area. The hints and tips below are followed by more detailed information on getting to your match by different types of transport. The maps at the end of the guide will also help you find the best way around.

> Wembley Stadium is a public transport venue. There is no dedicated spectator parking at Wembley Stadium except for blue badge holders. There are also no dedicated set-down or pick-up points, except for taxis. Please do not drive to the venue

> If you are travelling longer distances please consider using rail or coach services. Services will be busy. Please book your tickets as soon as you can to avoid disappointment

> London’s Underground network is likely to be your best way to get between key areas of the city and the stadium. If you are in London for a few days, remember to buy an Oyster card or use your UK contactless payment card, which can be used on most transport options in London. It is also cheaper than a paper ticket. Remember that London buses do not accept cash

> Make sure you arrive early and remember that on your way back the station will be much busier than usual. Why not spend some time at the Fanzone (for ticketholders only) next to the stadium before the match or take time out to explore other parts of the area

> Walking and cycling may also be an option for those shorter journeys close to the stadium. The local walking routes will be clearly marked and our friendly volunteers will be on hand to help you on your way. There is cycle parking at the venue

> Many of the transport arrangements for the match are different to normal so please plan ahead – even if you have been to the stadium before
