Tottenham Hotspur will trial Covid passports in their pre-season friendly against Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspur are the first Premier League club to announce they will trial the NHS Covid passport ahead of the new season.

Spurs have told supporters that all adults will have to show a pass before entering the stadium ahead of their men's and women's teams playing Arsenal on Sunday August 8.

The Covid pass - generated by the NHS app - confirms a person has had two doses of vaccine, has obtained a negative test for the virus or has natural immunity stemming from a previous infection.
