The European Football Association announced, on Tuesday, that it will refund the value of tickets for Liverpool fans in the 2022 European Champions League Final, which the Reds lost to Real Madrid.
In Paris, the preliminary match was marked by serious incidents between the police and supporters of the English club, which were blamed on UEFA, after an independent investigation led by Thiago Brandao Rodrigues, former Minister of Education of Portugal.
UEFA explains that refunds “will be available to fans who have tickets for Gates A, B, C, X and YEZ, where the most difficult conditions have been reported.” In addition, “fans who did not enter the stadium before 20:00 [hora do início do jogo] Or who could not enter the stadium, are also eligible for compensation.
Thus, as announced, a total of 19,618 tickets will be redeemed, in reference to Liverpool fans. In addition, the organization remains willing to do the same with Real Madrid fans who meet the criteria to allow the payment.
It should be noted at that time that several reports were received of people who were unable to enter the stadium, in addition to the police assault. In addition to UEFA, responsibility has also been handed over to the French Football Federation (FFF) and the police authorities in Paris.
