Spanish football grounds 40% cap on attendance
Spanish football grounds will have a 40% cap on attendance for the 2021-22 season, due to Covid-19 health and safety guidelines.
All spectators will be required to wear a face mask: “We will allow a maximum capacity of 40 per cent in stadiums, while always guaranteeing social distancing of 1.5m metres” said health minister Carolina Darias in a news conference.
Access to stadiums will be reserved for season ticket holders and local fans, in order to limit the movement of supporters throughout the country.
“Wearing a mask will be compulsory in all grounds while the consumption of drinks, food and tobacco will be prohibited,” said Darias.
“Training sessions will be carried out without a crowd or, if not, within limits,” she added.
The measures come into force from August 13, when La Liga resumes, until August 29, when they may be revised.
Spain has been facing a new wave of coronavirus cases that has led to several regions reintroducing restrictions, including Catalonia where a curfew has been imposed in Barcelona.
