Newcastle became the first English club to guarantee European qualification for next season after winning the Carabao Cup against Liverpool last month. The Magpies are guaranteed at least Conference League football but they currently sit fifth in the Premier League table, which is set to be enough to secure a Champions League place.

Either way, Newcastle will be involved in a UEFA competition next season and will comply with the governing body’s rules.

The Magpies currently adhere to UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules as well as the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules. But next season, Newcastle will have to cap the price of tickets for away supporters following a UEFA announcement.

Newcastle United set to be impacted by UEFA price cap

The announcement will be good news for travelling supporters, whose away tickets will be capped at a maximum of €60 (~£51) in the Champions League , €40 (~£34) in the Europa League and €20 (~£17) in the Conference League.

It will be welcome news for Newcastle supporters who will be looking to travel to away matches next season. But it will impact the amount of ticket revenue the club will be able to generate through away supporters in European matches next season.

Announcing the news, UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin said: “Lowering the price cap of the ticket prices for visiting supporters in the new UEFA men’s club competitions is an important signal from all ECA’s member clubs in actively contributing to improving the overall match experience for fans. ECA’s collaboration with UEFA and the fans’ representatives through FSE is fundamental in ensuring travelling supporters can enjoy following their teams across Europe to the maximum.”
