Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin has acknowledged that there were flaws in the organization of the Champions League final in Istanbul, stating that “not everything was perfect” for the fans. Manchester City supporters faced problems with transportation to the out-of-town Ataturk Stadium, as well as issues with limited access to facilities like toilets and water.
Football Supporters Europe is collecting fan accounts from the event to compile a report to present to Uefa. Speaking at the European Football Fans Congress in Manchester, Ceferin admitted that Uefa had learned from past mistakes, but emphasized the need for further improvement. He specifically mentioned the need to enhance transportation links, accommodate disabled supporters, and ensure access to water and toilets for everyone.
Ceferin assured fans that next year’s Champions League final at Wembley and Euro 2024 in Germany would provide a unique and enjoyable experience. He also referenced the serious problems faced by Liverpool fans at the 2022 Champions League final in Paris.
An independent report on the chaos at the Paris match held Uefa primarily responsible for the near-catastrophe that unfolded. Ceferin apologized for the events of the previous year, expressing a desire to erase them and make attending a football match an unforgettable experience for all fans.
