Uefa expected to make announcement on ThursdayPoland eases entry restrictions for Europa League finalA decision on the location of the
Champions League final is finally expected on Thursday, with Porto in line to host the game provided questions over Covid restrictions are resolved. As the Polish government eased requirements for fans to travel to the Europa League final in Gdansk, details remained to be agreed over the all-English contest between
Manchester City and
Chelsea.
Uefa wants to take the Champions League final to Portugal, with Porto’s Estádio do Dragão the preferred destination. On Wednesday the Portuguese government announced a relaxation of Covid laws that would allow attendance at live events from 19 May, but only at 10% of capacity. Uefa is hoping for a crowd of at least 20,000, which would amount to nearly 40% of the Dragão’s 50,035 seats.
