For the 2022/23 season
UEFA allows standing room in European competitions again
Status: 07/27/2022 3:02 p.m

The UEFA Executive Committee has approved the proposal to allow standing room in Europe again - as a test. This means that fans in Germany, England and France can stand in the 2022/23 season. The measure is initially valid for one season.

According to information from the sports show, the members of the UEFA Executive Committee voted in a vote by email on Tuesday (July 26, 2022) for the provisional return of standing room. Accordingly, it should initially be allowed for one season in the stadiums of the European Cup participants from England, Germany and France to offer standing room in the European club competitions Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League. Standing should therefore be possible for guest fans if the clubs want it. Clubs from Spain and Italy would also have been granted permission, but none of the European Cup participants from these countries currently have standing room. The measure is a 'monitoring programme' by UEFA. If successful, the standing room permit could be extended and extended to other countries. It would be the end of the seat ban in international UEFA games that has been in force for decades. Around 25,000 standing places are possible in Dortmund's south stand. An important detail: According to information from the sports show, standing room at the relevant European Cup games should be possible "in accordance with national and local laws". The south stand of Borussia Dortmund, for example, could obviously be filled with around 25,000 standing fans in the Champions League as in the Bundesliga. In the past, most Bundesliga clubs converted their standing room grandstands for the games in Europe with seating modules at short notice.

Union Berlin could avoid moving to the Olympic Stadium in the Europa League as a result of the UEFA measure, provided that the planning allows for this and the stadium otherwise meets UEFA's requirements. The ratio of standing to seating is unusual at Union: there are more than 18,000 standing places at the Alte Försterei, but less than 4,000 seats. Eight German clubs are taking part in UEFA competitions in the 2022/23 season.

At that time, the general ban on UEFA competitions was lifted and since then what has been permitted by law and local authorities in the respective country - as is now the case for the time being with standing room Standing included. The German national team will play their last two group games in the Nations League on September 23 in London (Wembley) and against Hungary in Leipzig on September 26. The DFB had a friendly against Italy in Nuremberg for the first time in March 2020 International game again standing room planned. Standing room is an integral part of the stadium experience in Germany, said the then DFB President Fritz Keller in the run-up to the scheduled game: "It shouldn't be any different for the national team, which has supporters from all groups in society." However, the onset of the coronavirus pandemic prevented the game from being played.Some standing is currently possible in England and FranceIn England last season, the so-called "safe standing" was introduced. Several top clubs such as Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool FC, Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Wembley Stadium for international matches, are also participating in the model. In Italy and Spain there is currently hardly any standing room in the top leagues with a few exceptions such as Athletic Bilbao. In France, standing room has been allowed again since 2018, where it was banned by law in the 1990s.

At the end of April, UEFA reported in a statement about an exchange with the fan association Football Supporters Europe (FSE) and mentioned that there would be "an investigation into safe standing in stadiums". In an open letter in 2019, FSE called on UEFA to revoke the ban on standing areas. It was "unjustified and outdated," it said at the time. "Standing places are absolutely safe. This is evident week after week in football stadiums across the continent, for example in Germany."
A pilot project in January allowed fans at Old Trafford Stadium to watch the game in the newly built standing area.

Disasters: standing room was considered the cause in politicsFor decades, a seat has been mandatory at international games. In the wake of the Heysel disasters in Belgium in 1985, which killed 39 people, and Hillsborough in 1989, which killed 97 people, standing room was considered one of the causes in politics, although later the structural conditions of the stadiums, the organization or the failure of the police and security forces were identified as reasons .In England, standing room disappeared from stadiums after the so-called "Taylor Report" in the British Parliament. This report by a Member of Parliament included the complete removal of all standing areas as the main demand for Hillsborough. UEFA adopted this principle in 1998. Especially under the presidency of Michel Platini from 2007 to 2015, there was little willingness to talk about the topic in UEFA. Platini was on the pitch as a Juventus player in Heysel in 1985 and always associated the deaths of people with standing room. However, the commitment and protests of active fan groups from numerous clubs in Germany resulted in the project being abandoned. Even in the course of the construction and renovation of many stadiums for the 2006 World Cup, standing room was retained. Almost all stadiums in German professional football currently have standing room.

Amazing news for German clubs in particular.
And by extension Patrick Schick, who can do everything with the ball, with his magical left foot. Most skill ful and with flair out of future 4 kings of CF. Haaland, Nunez, Vlahovic. All of those 3 doesn't have the same top ball skill and flair as him.

I wanted to give people a better understanding of how big this impact is. When Patrick Schick, one of the four kings, is playing at Bayarena, absolutely buzzing with 30210 instead of 29410 capacity. You will feel the difference.
