San Siro open for Euro ties
The Stadio Giuseppe Meazza will be allowed to open to Inter and Milan fans for the Champions League ties, UEFA have confirmed.
The stadium had not received the green light from the Italian Government to reopen to fans, but work carried out last week brought the arena closer to the Legge Pisanu standards, allowing at least Milan season ticket holders to access the arena on Sunday.
The first knockout round match between Inter and Valencia on February 20 will therefore kick off at San Siro at 2045 hours local time as per schedule.
UEFA confirmed on their website that the permitted capacity will be 36,000, including the five per cent reserved for visiting supporters, that is 1,800 tickets to be sold via the visiting team.
The Italian Football Federation informed the governing body of European football that the Stadio Meazza already conforms with some of the measures provided for by Italian law but that some work must still be completed before full capacity will be allowed at the venue.
As to the Milan-Celtic tie scheduled on March 7, this clash will also be hosted at San Siro, again in front of a limited number of spectators, with the exact capacity still to be determined.
It seems certain however that the capacity will include 4,500 seats reserved for Celtic fans.
