Olympiakos: fans finally cleared to go… but the Vélodrome sector stays empty

After last-minute reversals and a string of controversies, Olympiakos Piraeus supporters who were first reported as almost fully booked have ultimately been cleared to attend the Vélodrome. As L'Équipe reports, the Greek club sent them back because it would no longer sell tickets.

The consequence: the away section will be open, but it will be empty. The episode underlines how quickly the situation around the travelling fans changed right before kick-off.
