With the closure of the two bends on Thursday evening (9 p.m.), the Parc OL will ring hollow for OL – Olympiakos. Of the 28,500 seats available, around 23,000 have already been taken, including 900 Greek supporters.
Parc OL was far from full on Sunday against theOM with 53,000 spectators present for the Olympico. It will be even less crowded on Thursday evening for the first European in two years. Due to the closure of the bends following sanctions imposed after OL – West Ham In April 2022, the Décines stadium will be empty of a large number of supporters. But for a first European Cup match, the maximum capacity will only be 28,500 spectators. The total is still far from being reached twenty-four hours before kick-off. At this time, just over 23,000 seats have been taken.
The goal would be to reach 25,000 with the hours remaining before the match. Tickets are priced from €22 to €100 for category 1 for the general public. In any case, on Thursday evening, the visitors’ enclosure will not be empty as it was on Sunday for OL – OM. Nine hundred Olympiakos supporters are expected in Décines. Knowing the reputation of Greek fans, we can expect a boiling atmosphere in the area reserved for Olympiakos supporters.
