Northern Ireland supporters who previously booked travel and accommodation for the upcoming Nations League fixture in Georgia will be allowed to attend the match. The Irish FA announced the decision following discussions with UEFA and the Georgian Football Federation. The game was originally ordered to be played behind closed doors due to a UEFA sanction against the hosts.
Fans must provide proof of their travel and hotel bookings made before the official announcement of the stadium closure to gain entry. The Irish FA stated it worked to ensure those who had already committed to the journey would not be excluded. According to the Belfast Telegraph, the association is coordinating with Georgian authorities to manage the ticketing process for the affected group.
Northern Ireland travel to Tbilisi for the match later this month. The governing body advised fans to monitor official channels for further updates regarding the logistics of stadium access and security protocols, per Sky Sports. No further tickets will be sold for the fixture.
