Liverpool fans handed Champions League boost as UEFA make stadium decision

Football supporters have been given the green light to attend away matches in UEFA club competitions for the 2021/22 season.

This change will come into place from next week, at which point the group stages of the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League will be getting underway.

European fixtures were played behind closed doors last campaign, with the exception of the finals of the Champions League and Europa League which permitted a limited number of fans from both clubs.

Fans have been returning to matches since the start of this season, but there were fears that away supporters would still be shut out to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

It now appears this won't be the case, but local restrictions and travel requirements could still be imposed at any point throughout the course of the campaign.

Liverpool get their European schedule underway next Wednesday when Jurgen Klopp's side host AC Milan, with supporters from Italy now expected to be in attendance at Anfield.

The first match that Reds fans will be able to travel to will be Porto on September 28, provided that no law changes are made before this fixture.
