The return match of Sturm Graz in the 2nd round of the European Football League qualification on Thursday in the Merkur Arena against Haugesund, which was originally dubbed a “ghost game”, is not going to be played in empty ranks.
As the Styrians announced on Monday, around 2,700 children and young people under the age of 14 will be seated in the stadium. Accompanying persons are included in this figure.
This is made possible by UEFA’s new administration of justice system. The tickets were given away to underage visitors. A total of around 3,000 spectators are expected to attend, as journalists and a small delegation from Haugesund will also be allowed. The club also organises a public viewing in front of the stadium.
