BERN - The draws for this season's Champions League and Europa League group stages have been moved from Athens because they would break local Covid-19 rules about large indoor gatherings, UEFA said on Wednesday.
The European soccer body said that the Champions League draw would instead take place without guests -- such as club representatives -- at its own headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, on October 1 with the Europa League draw the following day in the same venue.
The Champions League group stage will start later than usual on October 20, a knock-on effect of the coronavirus pandemic which interrupted last season and caused it to finish in August.
