Last month, Serbia were ordered to play their next home game in the UEFA Nations League, against Germany on Friday, behind closed doors after their fans engaged in racist and discriminatory behaviour during matches against Greece and the Netherlands.

However, Friday's game at the Rajko Mitić Stadium in Belgrade will not be played entirely without spectators.

As the Serbian Football Association confirmed upon request, a clause in UEFA regulations will allow children under the age of 15 to attend the match when accompanied by teachers or coaches.

“We are currently expecting around 5,000 spectators,” an association spokesperson told the German Press Agency (DPA).

Kick-off is scheduled for 20:45 CET on Friday.
