Away supporters are welcome again at European matches. The umbrella supporter association Football Supporters Europe (FSE) reported on Monday that supporters can travel after their clubs in the group stages of the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. The ban on away supporters will also be removed for international matches.
As a result, Ajax, PSV, AZ, Feyenoord and Vitesse are allowed to take supporters to European away matches. Nationally drawn up regulations do, however, continue to apply, which means that supporters have to find out per country whether and how they can travel. According to FSE, clubs and national football associations have already been informed of the decision and an official statement from UEFA will follow shortly.
Feyenoord will be the first Dutch club to play in Europe next Tuesday. The Rotterdammers will compete in Israel against Maccabi Tel Aviv; that game was originally scheduled to take place on Thursday, September 16, but has been brought forward two days due to the Yom Kippur holiday. Next Wednesday Ajax will visit Sporting Portugal in the Champions League. A day later, Vitesse will visit NS Mura and AZ Randers in the Conference League. PSV is the only Dutch club to start with a home game (against Real Sociedad in the Europa League).
