Flag Policy

Any West Ham supporters' wanting to bring a flag to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium must follow the process below.

Flags or banners must not obstruct gangways, access routes, exits and entrances, health and safety signage and stairways. Tottenham Hotspur also politely ask that any flags or banners displayed do not obscure the banner in support of our LGBTQ+ fanbase, positioned above the tunnel in the North East corner of the stadium.

In order to ensure smooth access and display of your flag or banner, Tottenham Hotspur advise that you have it pre-approved. You can do this by completing this form one week prior to the match with a photo of the flag or banner, its fire safety certificate and confirmation of its dimensions.

Tottenham Hotspur reserve the right to deny permission or confiscate flags and banners if they are above an acceptable size, compromise public safety or obscure someone’s view or a camera position.

The Club has always considered that a football match is a time to show allegiance to a football team first and foremost. A football match is not an appropriate arena to display flags of any political or religious affiliation or anything that could possibly be considered inflammatory – this can include national flags during times of political conflicts, campaigns or issues.
