Up to 9,500 fans will be allowed to attend this month’s Europa League final in Gdansk, Poland, UEFA has announced.
The governing body said in a statement that the Polish authorities had confirmed the stadium would be at 25 percent capacity for the match on May 26.
It could see an all-English final for the first time since 2018/19, when Chelsea beat London rivals Arsenal 4-1 in Azerbaijan.
OPINION: Man Utd protest has been a bloody long time coming…
Manchester United lead Roma 6-2 ahead of the second leg of their semi-final on Thursday.
Edinson Cavani and Bruno Fernandes bagged two goals each in a dominant victory for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.
The other semi-final involves Villarreal and Arsenal in a much tighter affair.
Arsenal lost the first leg 2-1 away from home, with Nicolas Pepe converting a second-half penalty to give them an away goal.
Manager Mikel Arteta will be hoping for a big performance in the second leg at the Emirates on Thursday to reach the next round.
Fans travelling from abroad for the final will have to comply with border entry restrictions, with no exemptions granted to ticket holders.
The two finalists will receive 2,000 tickets each, with a further 2,000 up for general sale.
The remaining tickets will be allocated to the local organising committee, UEFA and national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters.
UEFA said it would refund fans who had bought tickets if the stadium capacity had to be reduced.
It’s not yet clear how many fans will be allowed into the Champions League final at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Turkey on May 29.
Last week, UEFA said a ‘limited number’ of people will be allowed in, despite the host country going into a nationwide lockdown.
The Champions League could also have an all-English final, with Manchester City and Chelsea both vying for a spot.
City produced a great second-half comeback to beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at the Parc des Princes in the first leg.
Goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez gave them the advantage going into the return leg at the Etihad.
Chelsea also have the upper hand going into their second leg against Real Madrid. They drew 1-1 with Los Blancos in Spain and picked up an away goal courtesy of American star Christian Pulisic.
