(Reuters) - There will be no away fans at both legs of the Europa League quarter-final between Feyenoord and AS Roma, after a decision by UEFA followed the Italian authorities' ban on Dutch supporters, the Eredivisie side said on Tuesday.
Some Feyenoord supporters vandalised Rome's historic Barcaccia Fountain when the two clubs faced each other in the competition back in 2015.
The sides meet in Rotterdam on April 13 and in Rome a week later, and both clubs were recently in talks with UEFA to discuss the attendance of away fans, Feyenoord said on their website. During the talks, a scenario to allow at least a reduced number of 1,200 away supporters to attend both games was discussed, Feyenoord added.
