Football fans faced a surprise.

Champions League fans were used to watching the championship matches in the evening (10:00 PM Lithuanian time), but the decisive match of this season between PSG and London's Arsenal will start three hours earlier in Budapest.

It is reported that the changes occurred for the sake of the fans.

UEFA assures that in Hungary, fans, especially after the matches, will find it easier to use public transport. Additionally, this will extend the fun time both in Budapest and in the city of the winning team.

It is no secret that UEFA is also looking towards the Asian market – the three-hour advance will be particularly significant here.

Finally, officials from European football will give more chances for young fans to watch the matches, whose parents will not send them to bed.
