Kick-off |
Both teams must be at the stadium at least 75 minutes before kick-off.
The walk-on music provided by UEFA must be played from when the players emerge from the players’ tunnel until they have lined up, at which point the national anthems of both teams must be played (maximum of 90 seconds each).
At all matches in the competition, the players are invited to shake hands with their opponents and the referee team after the line-up ceremony as well as after the final whistle, as a gesture of fair play.
