Initially more than 50,000 people should have flocked to the Parc des Princes this Wednesday if we take into account the 48,000 spectators and the 3500 people working for the smooth running of this event. But the coronavirus has passed there, and as part of the closed session decreed by the Paris police headquarters, less than 1000 "privileged" will be able to attend or participate in the meeting between PSG and Dortmund.
These are of course the players, the staffs of the two teams and the officials of each club. For Paris, President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi will of course be in the official gallery as well as Brazilian sports director Leonardo. The leaders of the Dortmund club will take their places, as will a handful of handpicked guests.
"No ticket holder (will be admitted) but only less than ten VIPs per club," said UEFA in charge of organizing the competition. The officials of the European body (delegates, referees ...) will of course be present to ensure the smooth running of the meeting. Security personnel will also be mobilized to avoid any intrusion into the enclosure, as well as catering staff and the park's gardeners who are on mission to pamper the lawn. Finally the teams of five television channels having paid to broadcast the competition will be allowed to enter the stadium. They are RMC Sports for France, beIN Mena, Sky Deutschland, Fox Sports, and Nent. "Only the people necessary for the organization of the match", summarizes UEFA.
