October 26 – UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against Rennes for breaking strict Covid-19 guidelines at last week’s Champions League game against Russian side Krasnodar.
Last month, UEFA announced it would allow the partial return of spectators for matches where local laws permit, following on from a successful pilot at the Super Cup in Budapest.
Crowds are still allowed into sporting events in France, despite rising COVID-19 cases in the country but UEFA are investigating three violations of its COVID-19 protocols among the 5,000 spectators at the Rennes game after it was reported a number of aisles in the stadium were blocked, preventing a smooth flow of spectators.
Supporters were also criticised for not following social distancing measures and straying from their allocated seats.
The UEFA hearing is scheduled for November 10.
