Sparta invites children fans to Rangers! Up to 10 000 of them are allowed to come
Sparta Prague has to close its stadium for the match against Rangers due to racist chants by some of its fans during the game against Monaco. There is an exception, however, and that is children. Up to 10 000 of them will be allowed to enter the stadium, but they must be organised groups.

UEFA gives an exception in the case of stadium closures, which means that at least children can enter the stadium. Sparta, who would otherwise have had an empty stadium against Rangers, took advantage of this.
The club has now published information concerning the entry of children’s fans. However, it doesn’t work like a group of friends agreeing to go to the stadium.
Admission is free, capacity is at least 10,000, but there is a catch to it all, which is quite limiting, albeit quite logical.
Only organized groups, which must have at least 10 children and one adult chaperone, can get into the stadium.
Sparta strongly warns that if there are fewer than 10 children in a group, the group will not be allowed into the stadium.
More information can be found on the club website, where there are also forms that must be filled out before the match. You will also need to register for the match in advance.
