Both sets of fans will be able to attend the Champions League encounter between Benfica and Inter Milan at the Estadio Da Luza.
In the previous round of the European competition, the Portuguese fans caused some havoc at the San Sebastian Stadium during the clash against Real Sociedad.
Therefore, the Lisbon-based club risked playing their next home fixture behind closed doors as a punishment.
But according to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, UEFA will allow both sets of fans to attend next Wednesday’s contest.
The organization decided to fine Benfica 25,000 euros for fan trouble. However, they opted against shutting down the doors in the face of the supporters.
This is also delightful news for 3,000 Inter fans who already bought their tickets and planned their midweek trip to the Portuguese capital.
Benfica Vs Inter Milan Champions League To Be Played With Fans In Attendance
The Nerazzurri have already booked their spot in the Round of 16 after collecting 10 points from the first four matchdays.
Nevertheless, the Italian giants remain on par with Real Sociedad. The two clubs will compete for the top spot in the group which could earn them a more favorable draw.
Therefore, the final matchday clash at the San Siro will be decisive in this regard.
Yet, Inter will be looking to enhance their position in the group with a positive result in Portugal.
But before taking the Iberian trip, Simone Inzaghi’s men will clash heads against Juventus this weekend.
This will be a major clash between the two main Scudetto rivals. The match takes place at the Allianz Stadium this Sunday.
