West Ham supporters should hear later today whether away fans will be permitted to attend European competition matches.
UEFA previously issued a warning to fans not to make any travel plans for away games as they are yet to decide whether away fans will be allowed for group stage games.
The governing body are also yet to confirm the availability of tickets for away fans for the Europa League. Neutral venues, closed stadiums and the absence of away fans are all still possibilities
It comes as the Hammers get set to kick off their full Europa League campaigns next month.
Current Covid travel restrictions mean that UEFA don’t allow away ticket allocations for European games in the Champions League, Europa League or Conference League competitions.
Austria is a green list country, Croatia is on an amber watch list while Belgium consider UK travellers as red.
All restrictions are subject to change so it will be interesting what decision UEFA will announce today and what certainly fans will get.
Belgian does consider the UK to be red, but double-vaccinated certificates issued by England & Wales (but not Scotland) are recognised and allow entry. You will need to take a test on day 1 or 2 and quarantine until you get a negative result (which can be taken at the station/airport on arrival). You must then take a test on day 7 (unless you have left in the meantime). The Eurostar site is a great information resource. Genk is a lovely little ground and I expect to be watching with the home fans 🙁
Interesting
What happened to the announcement yesterday?
Has it been delayed?
yes
Until when?
