OLYMPIC football fans in Coventry and Warwickshire can now apply for tickets to attend one of the world’s greatest events.
The City of Coventry Stadium, home of Coventry City FC, will host a total of 12 men’s and women’s football matches during the London 2012 Olympic Games, kicking off with a double-header on July 25 of women’s football.

Applications can be made at any time during this six weeks and it is not on a first come, first served basis.
After Tuesday, April 26, oversubscribed events will be decided through a ballot and LOCOG will inform people of which tickets they have been allocated in June 2011.
