NYON, Switzerland—This week’s Champions League games are going ahead as scheduled despite an Islamic State terror threat, the governing body of European soccer said Tuesday.

Several posters circulated on social media alleging to be from the Al-Azaim Foundation—a media arm of ISIS-K—called for attacks at the four stadiums hosting the matches this week. The Associated Press could not verify the authenticity of the posts.
