The Union of European Football Associations, UEFA, will
allow spectators back into matches in the Champions League, Europa League and
its other club and international competitions “at a maximum of 30 per cent” of
capacity.
UEFA disclosed this in a post via its official website on
Thursday.
All matches in the Champions League, Europa League and
Nations League have been played behind closed doors because of COVID-19
pandemic.
Today’s decision follows a successful experiment at the
Super Cup in Budapest last week when around 15,500 spectators watched Bayern
Munich beat Sevilla.
Reacting to the development, UEFA president, Aleksander
Ceferin, said: “Today’s decision is a sensible first step which puts fans’
health first and respects the laws in each country.
“While we all face a common enemy in COVID-19, different
countries have different approaches and different challenges at any given
moment.
“This decision allows much more local flexibility to deal
with admitting fans than was previously the case, always respecting the assessment
of local authorities.”
The UEFA Champions League and the Europa League will begin
later this month.
