“Security and Control Protocol for Away Fans” is being implemented by FC Barcelona for the high-risk match against Olympiacos.
The “Security and Control Protocol for Away Fans” will be implemented by FC Barcelona for the high-risk UEFA Champions League group stage encounter against Olympiacos, which is scheduled for today, October 21, at 6:45 PM (CEST) at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
Additionally, the team has asked that all supporters get to the stadium well before kickoff and make sure they have all necessary identity and documentation on hand in case stadium employees or security guards ask for them at the gate.
The club will implement improved safety and ticketing control procedures to ensure the security of members, season ticket holders, home supporters, and visiting spectators because this game has been deemed a high-risk matchup.
In particular, these measures will keep an eye on ticket sales and the presence of visiting team supporters to make sure they stay in the appropriate areas. Ensuring utmost safety for all attendees is the ultimate goal.
Special Instructions for Olympiacos Supporters
Since no tickets will be sold at or around the stadium, it is strongly urged that all away fans—in this case, Olympiacos fans—who do not have a legal ticket avoid going to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
Fans will only be permitted admission if they hold legitimate tickets for the away supporters’ section that were issued by Olympiacos.
