Away fans to be allowed in European matches from next week, according to leading football fan group, following pressure on UEFA to let visiting supporters attend opening round of Champions League fixtures

Football fans will be permitted to attend away fixtures in Europe from next week, according to leading fan group Football Supporters Europe (FSE).

UEFA currently have a blanket ban on any away fans attending European club fixtures this season, including Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League fixtures.

Pressure has been growing on European football's governing body to lift the ban, with Manchester United and Ajax urging UEFA to reconsider their stance last month with fans set to be shut out for the start of the Champions League season.

And FSE, who released their own statement in August urging UEFA to drop the restriction, have confirmed that visiting fans will now be allowed to attend matches in time for the first round of European club fixtures next week.
