Ajax hopes for fans in home matches in Champions League | Football

sport">For the time being, no fans in the Netherlands are welcome at sports matches until October 20 due to the flaring up corona virus. The premier class of European club football starts on October 20. UEFA will announce the schedule on Friday.

sport">The European Football Association said on Thursday that it allows a limited number of spectators to attend matches in the Champions League, the Europa League and the Nations League. Fans of away clubs are not welcome in the stadiums for the time being. For the spectators of Ajax it is a shame that they cannot go to Liverpool. Many of them have been looking forward to a duel at Anfield for years.

sport">An important condition for the admission of spectators to European matches is that the national health authorities agree to football fans in the stadiums. If that requirement is met, stadiums of the European Football Association may be filled to a maximum of 30 percent of their capacity. All spectators must keep their distance and wear a face mask.

sport">“I think we have to wait and see what the virus does for the time being,” said an Ajax spokesman. “And if it is realistic to allow fans in, I assume that our director Edwin van der Sar will knock on time at Mayor Halsema and the other counters in Amsterdam that decide about this.”
