Celta Orders Tight Access Protocols in Lyon for 3,000 Traveling Fans

The measures follow violence reported last week in Vigo.

Overview

  • Supporters must report to a designated meeting point with ticket and ID to collect a wristband required for stadium entry.
  • Access to the away sector is restricted to official shuttle buses departing from the fan zone from around 16:00, with the single gate opening when the first shuttle arrives at roughly 16:15.
  • Security checks will be rigorous at a single entry point, backpacks are banned, and stadium staff can refuse entry for inappropriate behavior.
  • Celta stewards identified as “visiting fan support” will accompany the group, and local authorities may hold the away end for up to an hour post-match.
  • Both clubs advise avoiding visible Celta insignia and moving in groups around Lyon, and some fans report scaling back sightseeing or dressing discreetly out of caution.
