🚨 Barça block Eintracht fans, fearing a sea of white at Camp Nou

FC Barcelona has confirmed that it will not allow the sale of tickets to visiting fans for the upcoming Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt, which will take place at Spotify Camp Nou.

The Blaugrana club will allocate all available tickets exclusively to members.

With this decision, Barça aims to "prevent a repeat of the episode experienced in April 2022, when a majority of the crowd present at Spotify Camp Nou did not belong to the local fans." On that occasion, images of Eintracht fans filling Camp Nou went around the world.

Anti-Eintracht Measures

Any ticket detected in the possession of an Eintracht Frankfurt supporter in the local area will be registered to identify the member involved in the purchase and impose the appropriate disciplinary measure, Barcelona explains.

In addition, the club will activate the following measures:

· Increased security devices at each entrance and in the stands to manage incidents and, if necessary, carry out expulsions.

· Nominal and visual control of attendees with Eintracht Frankfurt symbols or attire to rule out signs of illegal ticket acquisition.

· Coordination with Eintracht Frankfurt, the Guardia Urbana, and the Mossos d’Esquadra to prevent rival team fans from accessing the surroundings of Spotify Camp Nou, discouraging ticket resale.

· Daily analysis of sales made in order to identify possible patterns of fraudulent sales, taking the necessary measures in such cases to prevent any breach of the security of our fans.
