UEFA said visiting supporters can attend after French authorities lifted restrictions that had prompted Olympiacos to warn fans away and offer legal help.
- UEFA confirmed on Wednesday that Olympiacos supporters may attend Thursday's Europa League match at Stade Velodrome in Marseille after French authorities withdrew restrictions that initially appeared to bar visiting fans from the stadium.
- Confusion stemmed from local security orders regarding club colours, which Olympiacos interpreted as a total entry ban, prompting the club to advise supporters against travelling due to safety concerns and potential financial losses.
- The Marseille police prefecture clarified that no travel ban existed, noting an initial restriction on displaying club colours or merchandise was lifted after additional police resources were deployed to the area.
- Olympiacos described the situation as an "unthinkable hoax" after thousands of supporters cancelled flights and hotel bookings at significant personal cost, and the club pledged legal assistance to fans seeking compensation.
- French authorities stated, "We have assured all our partners that everyone's safety would be guaranteed," as the Minister provided reinforcements to enable fan attendance, leaving the final decision to travel with supporters.
