UEFA in talks with Hungary over Super Cup following border closure

European champions Bayern Munich and Europa League winners Sevilla are due to meet in Budapest on Sept 24. in what is also planned to be the first UEFA match to take place with spectators since the COVID-19 outbreak.

The annual fixture is seen as the opening European club competition game of the season.

“Entry requirements into Hungary for various target groups (players, officials, partners, staff, media, fans, etc…) are also part of such discussions.

“UEFA will not take risks with people’s safety and further details will be communicated in due course.”

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff Gergely Gulyas said last week that, if current circumstances prevail, fans could be allowed to enter the country with two negative tests.

UEFA said last week that fans could occupy up to 30% of the stadium’s 67,215 capacity.
