The FA Cup semi-final between Leicester City and Southampton has been selected by government as the first football test event for the return of fans.
The match on April 18 will be played in front of 4,000 people at Wembley Stadium, who are expected to be residents of the borough of Brent, rather than spectators of the club.
Health service workers may also be invited to attend.
The government has stressed that the pilot events are designed to investigate how to keep people safe in crowds, rather than provide an opportunity for clubs' supporters to see their teams in action.
