Spectators could be allowed to stand at European football matches again in the future after Uefa said it was prepared to take a fresh look at the issue. Uefa rules ban standing areas at any grounds hosting European football.
But Uefa president Michel Platini has met with fans who cited the case of German side Werder Bremen, who allow standing at domestic games.
"We've said the rules still apply, but we're open to dialogue and would look at new designs," said a Uefa spokesman.
"There are stadia in Germany that have standing which the authorities say are perfectly safe.
"These are nothing like the old terraces, and it can be argued that they are much safer than having fans standing in seated areas as often happens."
