The shuttlebuses will drop supporters off close to each stadium and will be available to return to the host city up to one and a half hours after full-time.

Flags and banners at the stadium 

Supporters wishing to take flags or banners to England games to show their support for the team need to complete a FIFA flag application form at least 48 hours before attending their first match at the Women's World Cup.

A separate form must be completed and submitted to FIFA for each flag/banner you wish to take into a stadium during the tournament. When submitting the form to FIFA please provide a colour photograph of your flag/banner together with confirmation that it is made from non-flammable material. This can be in the form of the label on the flag or a certificate from the manufacturer. 

Once you have completed the form, please send it to security@loc2019.fr. 

Please be aware that any flags containing or displaying political, religious, offensive or commercial messaging or images will not be permitted in the ground. 

Once you have submitted your flag application form to FIFA and they have approved it, you will need to arrive at the stadium two and a half hours prior to kick-off to hang it up. When arriving at the stadium, you must have your banner/flag, together with your match ticket and a copy of the flag application form. If you arrive any later than 2 and a half hours or once turnstiles have opened to ticket holders, there is no guarantee you will be permitted inside with your flag/banner. 

Once inside the stadium, please do not hang your banner or flag across seats, stairwells or passageways. Stewards will be on hand to assist you with hanging them up. You will not be allowed to leave the stadium and re-enter after you've hung up your banner or flag so please ensure that you have everything you need with you at the time of arrival.
