UEFA is feeling okay about the coronavirus pandemic’s progress and will reportedly now allow away fans at Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League matches to start the group stages next week.
The move, of course, is subject to restrictions in the host nations and comes on the heels of Premier League clubs (mostly) stopping their players from traveling to nations on the United Kingdom’s red list of COVID-19 threats.

- Manchester United at Young Boys on Sept. 14
