In the last two years, football fans in Israel and around the world have had to deal with a new reality, in which they had to support their team from a distance in light of the corona guidelines that kept them off the pitches. As a token of appreciation to those fans who remained loyal to their clubs, UEFA decided today (Monday) that in the upcoming Champions League final 10,000 tickets will be distributed free of charge to fans of the teams that come to battle for the cup in St. Petersburg on May 28 (5,000 tickets per side).
UEFA’s goal is to “reward those fans for their support of European football during the Corona crisis”, and President Alexander Chaprin added that “we thought it would be a nice way to acknowledge the difficulties they have experienced in the last two years and how they still supported their teams even when they could not Get to the pitches. “
UEFA will cover the costs and ensure that the teams that reach the final receive the amount they deserve, in order to encourage those teams to reward the most loyal fans, those who have reached the most away games or the oldest subscribers. Also, UEFA froze ticket prices In the 3-4 categories (the cheapest, 70 euros per ticket in the category 4 and 180 euros per ticket in the category 3) for the next three seasons, thus maintaining the set price for the 2020 final held in Lisbon without an audience due to the spread of the corona.
Not only the fans of the teams that reach the Champions League final will benefit from the free division, but also the fans of the teams in the Europa League final (4,000 per team), the Conference League final and the Champions League final for women (3,000 per team).
