As such, visitors from elsewhere, likely Crvena Zvezda fans, will not be able to access tickets to support their team in the away game, reports Milano Today.

The prefect of the Lombardia provinceClaudio Sgaraglia elaborated on the issue.

"For many reasons, in order to protect public order and security, we have made a decision, which comes into force immediately, to ban the sale of tickets for fans of Crvena Zvezda from Belgrade and to allow the possibility of buying passes only to residents of the Lombardy region," he explained.

"Tickets will be printed only with the customer's personal data."

The concern of the province of Lombardia has to do with the inter-fan conflict between Rome and Crvena Zvezda, between the Delije ultras and the "Stella Rossa" ultras respectively.
