Republic of Ireland supporters in Poznan, Poland during Euro 2012
Boo.
Hiss.
This afternoon.
FIFA and UEFA have confirmed away supporters will not be permitted to attend upcoming international games, meaning no Republic of Ireland fans can travel to the World Cup qualifier against Portugal in Faro next month.
It also rules out away supporters in Dublin for the games against Azerbaijan and Serbia at the Aviva Stadium.
The decision, due to Covid-19, applies to all visiting fans in UEFA Preliminary Competitions for the FIFA World Cup 2022 in the September international window, as well as friendly matches next month.
