UEFA Executive Committee met on Wednesday via videoconference and unmously decided to allow the use of up to five substitutions at UEFA Euro 2020 and at the 2021 UEFA Nations League Finals."UEFA EURO 2020, 2021 UEFA Nations League Finals and relegation play-outs: To allow the use of up to five substitutions at UEFA EURO 2020 and at the 2021 UEFA Nations League Finals and relegation play-outs in accordance with the temporary amendment introduced to Law 3 of the IFAB Laws of the Game," UEFA said in a statement."As the reasons for the five-substitutions rule remain valid against the background of national and international football calendars affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and given that the rule is already in place for the World Cup qualification matches that will run from March 2021 to March 2022, it was decided to extend the amendment to UEFA EURO 2020 in June/July 2021, the UEFA Nations League finals in October 2021 and the UEFA Nations League relegation play-outs in March 2022," it added.The committee also made a decision regarding the admission of spectators to UEFA matches. It decided to lift the 30 percent capacity limit on stadiums, saying that the decision on the number of permitted spectators should fall under the exclusive responsibility of the relevant competent local/national authorities."The UEFA Executive Committee reviewed its decision of 1 October 2020 whereby it allowed the return of spectators to UEFA matches up to 30% of capacity. The committee decided that in light of the fact that each of UEFA's 55 members associations faces a different situation with regard to tackling the pandemic, such a cap is no longer needed and that the decision on the number of permitted spectators should fall under the exclusive responsibility of the relevant competent local/national authorities," the statement read."Consequently, the previously UEFA-imposed spectator attendance limit of a maximum of 30% of the relevant stadium's seating capacity is lifted, as well as the prohibition for spectators to attend futsal matches. However, in view of the ongoing travel restrictions and in order to enact reasonable and responsible policies to minimize COVID-19 related risks, the Executive Committee decided to confirm the decision of 1 October 2020 insofar that visiting fans are not allowed to attend UEFA competition matches. This is valid until prior to the club competition finals taking place in May 2021," it added.The statement further added that the UEFA Minimum Health & Hygiene Requirements for the Return of Spectators have been amended to reflect this new decision, which comes into force as of tomorrow.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
