Russia has waived entry visa requirements for fans with a valid ticket for the Champions League Final between Manchester United and Chelsea in Moscow, according to reports today.

Tens of thousands of fans are expected to travel to the match on May 21st with the Premier League rivals facing each other in the final at the Luzhniki Stadium.

The two English clubs have both been allocated 21,000 tickets each for the match.

Moscow has been planning to host the match for two years. Special measures have already been announced by the game's organisers, with 700 buses scheduled to transport fans from the city's three airports to and from the stadium.

There have been concerns that the city does not have enough hotel rooms to accommodate all the fans, though organisers say there will be enough beds to meet demand.
