According to CCTV5 program list (January 17, 2024), due to the rapid spread of the new coronavirus variant in Europe, UEFA announced today that all the matches in the final round of the European Cup qualifier will be held in the open field to ensure the health and safety of players and fans.

The final round of the European Cup qualifiers will be held on March 29, 2024, with a total of 12 matches, including competition for multiple spending lines, such as Ukraine in Group C against Italy, Croatia in Group D against Wales, Poland in Group E against Sweden, Austria in Group F against the Czech Republic, etc. These games were supposed to be wonderful matches for fans, but because of the decision of UEFA, the fans will not be able to cheer for the teams they support on the spot, and can only watch them on TV or online.

The decision of UEFA triggered different reactions. Some fans expressed their understanding and support, believing that it was a responsible way to prevent the spread of the epidemic. They said that although they could not watch the ball at the scene, it was fun to watch it at home with friends. They also said that they hoped that the epidemic could be controlled as soon as possible so that fans could return to the stadium and enjoy the charm of football.

Others expressed dissatisfaction and disappointment, believing that this was an unfair and disrespectful practice. They said that they had bought tickets, booked hotels and arranged itineraries for these competitions, but were told not to enter at the last minute, which made them feel very injured. They also said that they had no confidence in the epidemic prevention measures of UEFA, and believed that UEFA did not take into account the feelings and interests of fans, but made such a decision for its own interests.

UEFA said that they made such a decision based on the recommendations of the European health sector and the regulations of European governments. It is a necessary measure to protect the health and safety of all people. They also said that they would contact national football associations and host cities as soon as possible to negotiate how to refund the ticket fees of fans and how to compensate for the losses of fans. They also said that they hope to get the understanding and support of the fans, and also hope that the fans can continue to pay attention to the European Cup qualifiers and cheer for their favorite teams.
