BUDAPEST (Reuters) - UEFA will continue to allow teams to make up to five substitutions each per match, instead of three, in the Champions League and Europa League this season, the European soccer governing body said on Thursday.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin told a news conference following an executive committee meeting that the rule would also apply to the Nations League and the playoff ties for Euro 2020, plus the women's Euro qualifiers and women's Champions League.
