Dover, DE (November 29, 2021) – The Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA) announced today that the DIAA Football Class 1A, 2A, 3A, and Unified Flag Football championships are returning to the University of Delaware for the first time since 2019. The football championships were not played at the University of Delaware in 2020 due to the COVID-19 health pandemic. Fans interested in attending the championship games need to be aware of the University of Delaware’s football spectator event policies and procedures as listed below.

Ticket Information:

All attendees at University of Delaware’s football athletic events ages 12 and older, must provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative PCR coronavirus test taken within 72 hours of the event. “Full vaccination” means that guests have received their final COVID-19 vaccine dose at least 14 days in advance of the day of the game. Authentic proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test will be accepted as long as the test was taken within 72 hours of the day of the game through a medical or accredited company; please note that “at home tests” will not be accepted.
The University of Delaware has developed a digital system to allow external visitors to upload their COVID-19 vaccination or negative PCR COVID-19 test results before attending a UD-sponsored event. The
Visitor Events Health Pass replaces the need for visitors to show paper copies or photo images of vaccination or test records when entering an event. The pass is integrated with the online
UD Daily Health Check. To expedite event entry, fans should visit
covidcheck.udel.edu in advance of event day and upload your proof of vaccine or negative test to the
Visitor Events Health Pass, fill out the
UD Daily Health Check on the day of the game, and show your green event ticket at the gate for entry. Fans wishing to show paper copies or photo images of vaccination or test records can still do so, in combination with a green check mark from the
UD Daily Health Check, for entry at the event.
