Round one: Cup campaign set to begin

Sunderland AFC return to home action on Thursday night in the first round of the Carabao Cup.

The Black Cats will welcome Championship side Sheffield Wednesday FC to the Stadium of Light for the match, which kicks off at 7.45pm.

Cash turnstiles 33 and 36, located in the north east corner, will be open from 6.30pm on the night. Adult and concession priced tickets will be available on the turnstiles for this game.

Fans who have not already purchased tickets are strongly advised to do so in advance, where possible, to avoid queues on the night. The club would also urge supporters to arrive early if collecting pre-paid tickets as the ticket office and collection points are expected to be busy.

The FanZone will not open for this game, but catering outlets are available inside the stadium. Tickets have been sold from the centre of the east stand, and bars will be open throughout this area. Food kiosks will be open in the centre of the east stand and both the north east and south east corners.

The Carabao Cup draw will be held live at the Stadium of Light from 7pm, with supporters able to watch it via the stadium’s screens and concourse TVs.
