Special rules updated for 2021/22 UEFA club competitions knockout stages!

UEFA has updated its series of special rules for the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Europa Conference League, the UEFA Women’s Champions League and the UEFA Youth League in light of the ongoing pandemic in Europe.

The pandemic situation remains dynamic while travel/access restrictions and quarantine requirements are subject to continuous updates.

In this ongoing context, the special rules have been updated for the knockout stages of the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League (Annex K), UEFA Women’s Champions League (Annex J) and UEFA Youth League (Annex F) in order to guarantee the continuity of the competitions, taking into account the particularities of the knockout stages.

The new annexes follow a similar structure of the Annexes applicable to the group stage / phase 1 of the 2021/22 competitions and regulate consequences of travel/access restrictions to venues, possible group quarantines imposed following positive test results and potential rescheduling of matches.
