The new caps do not apply to home fans
- Published
The amount clubs can charge for away tickets in Europe's three men's club competitions will be reduced this season, Uefa has announced.
Champions League games will be capped at 60 euros (拢50.55), with 40 euros (拢33.70) the maximum for the Europa League and just 20 euros (拢16.85) for the Conference League.
Next season the Champions League figure will drop to 50 euros (拢42.12) with 35 euros (拢29.48) for the Europa League.
These caps only apply to visiting fans, not home supporters.
A cap first came in for the 2019-20 season of 70 euros (拢63.50) in the Champions League and 45 euros (拢41) in the Europa League.
There were a number of incidents the season before that, where fans protested against away ticket prices.
Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said: "This marks another key step in reaffirming Uefa's commitment to enhancing the matchday experience for all fans.
"By introducing more fan-friendly policies, we continue our mission to keep football as an inclusive sport, where supporters who travel across Europe to follow their teams are valued and recognised."
Ronan Evain of Football Supporters Europe (FSE), which was involved in consultations, said: "The revised price caps are further recognition of how integral away fans are to the atmosphere of European club fixtures."
