UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin will undergo testing for the coronavirus that will allow him to present the Champions League trophy to the winners, Report says, citing the official website of the organization.
Ceferin and general secretary Theodore Theodoridis will be tested two days before the finals of Europe's three club competitions this month so they can hand over the medals and trophies, UEFA said Monday.
During the pandemic, some competitions have seen players have to collect their medals, including at the FA Cup final in England.
In men's soccer, the Champions League final is in Lisbon, Portugal, on 23 August — two days after the Europa League concludes in Cologne, Germany. The Women's Champions League final is on 30 August in Bilbao, Spain.
"The organization's leaders will be tested before leaving for the first match and at regular intervals between, as required by the local authorities concerned," UEFA said.
