What is the England Supporters Travel Club and how does it work?

The England Supporters Travel Club (ESTC) is the FA's official membership scheme for Three Lions fans to get priority access to England home tickets, plus exclusive access to away and tournament matches.

This makes it the best way to follow England at a major tournament or in away fixtures. Fans within the ESTC earn 'caps' for each match they attend, and the more caps you have, the better your chances of being allocated tickets for over-subscribed matches. 

The FA give 70 per cent of the allocation for away matches to those with the most caps, with the remaining 30 per cent going to the remaining fans.

While specific details of the allocation for the next major tournament, the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, have not yet been announced, this is likely to be the only way to get England tickets from the FA's allocation.

What other perks do you get from joining the England Supporters Travel Club and how do I join?

While away tickets are the main draw for the ESTC, you also get discounted home tickets, the ability to get in the 'home end', chances to win a number of prizes including Club Wembley upgrades, the chance to attend open training sessions and to meet the players. 

Membership for the 2024-2026 period is now open and costs £85 for new adult members and £35 for juniors. Get more details here .

Opening times:  4pm to 7.30pm

Friday 6 September

Opening times:  10am to 8pm Saturday 7 September

Opening times: 8.30am to 4pm

Tickets for this match, as with all away matches, will be for individual collection only. There will be visible Wembley stewards available to direct supporters across the three days. Please note we will not have the ability to re-print or re-issue tickets. In line with ESTC membership rules, should your ticket be passed on or attempted to be used multiple times, at least the original ticket holder will be banned, pending appeal.

What you need when to collect your tickets

You will need a physical form of Photo ID to collect your ticket.

Acceptable forms of Photo ID to collect your ticket from The FA staff are: - A valid Passport or Driving License - An old ESTC Membership Card

As mentioned in our previous update, we are in the process of moving membership cards into an app and are going through a migration phase with some of our systems for the 24,000+ members who have joined since we opened up the 2024-2026 membership.  This is one step of many to provide a more efficient service to members, so we appreciate your patience whilst this is coming into practice.  We expect all members to be on the app within a month.

If you are part of a group, each member must collect their ticket in person. Please be aware that all members of the group do not have to collect at the same time, however it will not be possible for a member (or non-member) to collect a ticket on another member’s behalf. We would advise collecting your tickets on MD-1, as we anticipate longer queues at our Ticket Collection Point on matchday. To improve time-efficiency when collecting tickets, we would also suggest arriving as a group if you booked your tickets together. If you are unable to collect with the rest of your group, you will be required to inform us of the name of the person who booked your ticket (Lead Booker), alongside having your own ID. Flag Information

Flags are welcome if they are no bigger than 2m by 1m.  If your flag is larger than this please fill out the following form – Big Flag Form W aiting list You can join the waiting list here.

If you are already on the waiting list, or once you have joined, you will receive an email from [email protected] if you have been successful. 

This email could also arrive on match day, as we often receive cancellations right up until kick-off. 

The staff at the Ticket Collection Point will be working through any cancelled tickets that come in and redistributing them to members on the waiting list on a cap's basis. 

So, if you know someone who isn't coming, remind them to let FA Staff know by completing the Ticket Cancellation form below so a another member can go in their place.  We often have many of uncollected tickets that we are unable to pass on.

FA Security Reminder

In recent months, we have seen a rise in pyrotechnics, flares and smoke devices being brought to stadiums around the country and abroad. It is important to highlight that these items are not only illegal inside a football stadium, but these prohibited items can also cause great harm to people. These pyrotechnics and flares can burn at up to 2,000°C and can cause significant injuries to carriers and fellow spectators. We have also seen several incidents that have resulted in people experiencing breathing difficulties, distress, and discomfort. The potential injuries sustained as a result of someone using a pyrotechnic include:

- Serious injuries, such as loss of limb or fingers - Severe burns, due to temperatures of up to 2,000°C - Breathing problems, due to smoke inhalation - Loss of hearing or sight, because of the explosive power Anyone reported in possession of a pyro in or outside of the stadium will run the risk of their ESTC Membership being suspended in addition to the regulations and consequences set by the police.

How to Report an Incident to us whilst you are abroad The FA continues to work hard to ensure a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for all supporters. If you witness any xenophobic, racist, homophobic or anti-social behaviour before, during or after the match, you can report it in confidence by emailing [email protected] or by calling or texting us on (+44)7790371105. Please be aware that The FA will always investigate reports of inappropriate behaviour at an England game. For more information regarding fan behaviour, please refer to the ‘ Rules of Membership’

As always, when travelling abroad, we ask that members treat the cities and locals with respect. Any unacceptable behaviour whilst following England may result in:

- Removal from the stadium - Police involvement and possible criminal proceeding - Football Banning Order applications in England - Suspension from the ESTC membership - Withdrawal of future match tickets

We will not tolerate any excessive behaviour and will be working with all the relevant stakeholders to ensure every fan has a safe trip. Any member who does not follow the ESTC membership rules outlined will run the risk of losing their membership privileges and tickets for future fixtures, including the UEFA EUROs. Remember, members should act as ambassadors for the England team and act in such a way that will continue to enhance the image of English supporters and the national side.

We hope you enjoy the game and have a safe journey!
