Your visit to the arena

For EHF EURO matches in both countries, in addition to vaccination certificates, fans also need to bring valid ID or passport.

For EHF EURO matches in Hungary, there are currently no limitations for spectator attendance provided that fans are in possession - on top of their valid tickets - of a valid immunity certificate that shows they are either recovered or vaccinated. If they are neither vaccinated nor recovered, they have to be in possession of a valid negative PCR test certificate which is not older than 72 hours.

Furthermore, every spectator older than the age of six is obliged to wear a mask which covers nose and mouth at all times.

Additional event information for matches in Hungary can be downloaded here.

It is mandatory that all spectators must wear an FFP2 mask inside the arena and will be given one on entry. 

For EHF EURO matches in Slovakia a maximum arena capacity of 25 per cent applies. Every fan wishing to attend the matches in Bratislava and Kosice must be either vaccinated or recovered from Covid-19. Recovered but not vaccinated people can enter Slovakian arenas within 180 days of recovery from Covid-19. Sufficient proof must be provided upon entry.

The status of being either vaccinated or recovered applies for every spectator older than 12 years and 2 months. Wearing an FFP2 mask is mandatory for everyone. No additional PCR or anti-gen tests are mandatory.
