As part of a major initiative to make football more affordable and accessible, UEFA has announced a major reduction in ticket prices for visiting fans in all of its men’s club competitions.
From the 2024/25 season, the maximum price that home clubs can charge visiting fans will be capped at €60 ($66.4) for UEFA Champions League matches, €40 ($44.2) for UEFA Europa League matches and €20 ($22.1) for UEFA Conference League matches.
This historic decision, supported by the European Club Association (ECA) and Football Supporters Europe (FSE), underlines UEFA’s commitment to improving the fan experience and ensuring that football remains an inclusive sport.
This initiative aims to support passionate fans who travel across Europe to cheer on their teams, helping to preserve the vibrant atmosphere that defines European football.

A step forward for fans
The ticket price reduction is not a temporary measure. UEFA plans to further lower the price cap for the 2025/26 season, with the Champions League cap rising to €50 ($55.3) and the Europa League cap to €35 ($38.7), while the Conference League cap will remain at €20 ($22.1).
The move is part of a wider initiative to improve the overall match-day experience for fans, recognising the crucial role they play in the success of European competitions.
UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin stressed the importance of the decision, saying:
“Today’s decision marks another key step in reaffirming UEFA’s commitment to improving the fan experience on matchdays. By introducing more fan-friendly policies, we are continuing our mission to make football an inclusive sport where fans who travel across Europe to follow their teams are valued and recognised.”
