The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has agreed to allow two European club competitions to be played outside of Europe. This decision was made after several months of discussions between UEFA and the clubs involved. The competitions in question are the Champions League and the Europa League.

The decision was made to accommodate the clubs that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many European clubs have been unable to host matches due to travel restrictions and other safety concerns. By allowing games to be played abroad, UEFA hopes to minimize disruptions to the competitions.

However, not all European clubs are in favor of this decision. Some have expressed concerns about the logistics and costs associated with hosting games abroad. They worry that it may be unfair to teams that are not able to host matches in their home stadiums.

Despite these concerns, UEFA has confirmed that the decision will go ahead as planned. The first games are set to take place in the coming weeks. It remains to be seen how this new arrangement will affect the competitions and the teams involved.
