Proof of COVID-19 status may be presented to stadium support staff in the following ways:

  • By displaying a digital (mobile phone) solution such as the NHS COVID pass or an EU equivalent (click here for information on how to obtain the NHS COVID pass): please note that this will need to be updated every 30 days.
  • digital or paper certificate of double vaccination.
  • Proof of a negative lateral flow test (LFT) result by text or email (within 48 hours of kick-off): do not bring the physical test unit with you (click here to obtain tests).

Match Sponsors
Saturday’s match sponsors are WeBuyGymEquipment. We’d like to thank them for their support of the Bluebirds, and hope they enjoy the day!

WeBuyGymEquipment is the best way gym operators can maximise the amount of money they receive when trading-in their old and unwanted fitness equipment. WeBuyGymEquipment have created an internal auction platform where commercial gym equipment packages go under the hammer via 100+ second-hand gym equipment traders. It’s simple – the highest price wins!

All operators need to do is supply a list of equipment, access details and a bunch of photos and WeBuyGymEquipment will do the rest!

If the price is accepted, our team will ensure the payment is made swiftly and the equipment is collected on the day and time required. A hassle-free process and a great way to ensure the best return for your old equipment.

After collating thousands of bids in the platform, the business now has the ability to accurately predict residual values of used gym equipment at any stage of the lifespan of the asset. Extremely valuable data to fitness equipment manufacturers, leasing companies and the gym operator.

Anti Discrimination
Together Against Discrimination

Football is for everyone. We might support different teams, but football unites and inspires us.

It is a game with many opinions. But there is one on which we should all agree.

Racism and discrimination is not welcome in our game. So if you hear it, report it - whether in the street, at Cardiff City Stadium or online.

And when you see players taking the knee ahead of the game as a simple and peaceful act of protest this season, please respect their choice.

Because we are all Together Against Discrimination.

To those we love and miss so very much

The Bluebirds will wear black armbands this weekend, paying tribute to those who sadly lost their lives 55 years ago in Aberfan.
