4,000 locals allowed in stadium for FA Cup Semi-Final

Spectators will be returning to Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final between Leicester and Southampton with 4,000 local residents allowed to attend the game.

The match is being run as a test event for the return of crowds once coronavirus lockdown restrictions are eased, but neither Leicester nor Southampton are permitted their own supporters at the game.

Fans have been prevented from attending sports venues across England since the scrapping of the tier system in December, so this is a big breakthrough for the football community!
