KIEV, May 22 (Xinhua) -- The State Border Guard Service (SBGS) of Ukraine said Tuesday it is fully prepared for the influx of foreign fans coming to Ukraine for the UEFA Champions League finals.

More than 120 border crossing checkpoints across the country, including five airports, were prepared for welcoming the football fans, the SBGS said in a statement.

The Boryspil International Airport in Kiev, which will see the highest number of fans, was equipped to serve about 7,000 passengers per hour, the statement said.
