There is new speculation that supporters might be allowed to attend the Champions League final in Istanbul.

ESPN claims it has heard from sources within UEFA that some fans could be inside the Ataturk Olympic Stadium for the decider on May 29.

Despite claims of fans returning for the final, football officials are not keen on the idea of allowing them back at the quarter-final and semi-final stages of the current UEFA competition.

The key factor for the possible successful resolving of this issue could be the preliminary plans of the European Union to open free movement between countries from mid-May, which should subsequently affect neighboring countries.

Unfortunately, the ESPN source did not provide any additional information on the possible ways of distributing tickets, their total number of the basic stadium capacity of 80,500 people, as well as additional restrictions.

The Ataturk Stadium had originally been scheduled to host the 2020 final, before the pandemic struck.
