Advice for fans travelling to Andorra for the Wales match with Andorra on Tuesday 9th September
Date: Tuesday 9th September Venue: Estadi Nacional M.I. Consell General (Stadium) Kick off time: 20.45 (local time) As well as this advice, check out our travel advice for Andorra and Spain
Passports and visas
- British Nationals don’t need a visa to travel to Andorra or Spain, but your passport should be valid for the proposed duration of your stay. No additional period of validity beyond this is required
- remember your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is not valid for Andorra but is valid for Spain. You should consider taking out travel insurance, even if you’re only going for one night - it could save you a lot of money if you get into difficulties
- you must provide ID (your passport) if requested by a Police Officer. The Police have the right to hold you at a police station until your identity is confirmed.
- always take care of your passport, as obtaining a replacement is costly and time-consuming
Getting to the stadium
This is a brand new stadium. The game on the 9th September will be the first match to be played at the stadium. Google maps and other location applications are unlikely to be updated with the new location:
Baixada del Moli 33, AD500 Andorra la Vella
At the match
- gates will open 2 hours before the match starts, at 18.45
- Welsh fans should enter the stadium through gate 2 south
- Welsh fans are located in blocks ‘tribuna sur’ and ‘gol sur’
- fans should obey Andorran Police instructions and avoid physical contact of any type (including requests to take photos etc.)
- anyone who is obviously drunk or bearing racist insignia will not be allowed into the stadium. Also, any banners bearing political slogans will not be permitted inside the stadium
- no flares, fireworks, alcohol, cans, glass, bottle tops or containers over 0.5 litres are allowed in the stadium. Flag and banner poles should be removed before entering
Tips
- large crowds are the favoured hunting grounds for petty criminals so be careful with your valuables. In Barcelona, as in any other city, beware of pickpockets and bag snatchers at airports, railway stations, around the town centre and when using public transport. Only carry what you need, leave spare cash and valuables in hotel safety deposits
- drinking in the streets in Andorra and some areas of Spain is illegal, and you can be arrested for doing so
