France to allow up to 5000 fans to watch sport in stadiums
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

the French government announced on Saturday that up to 5,000 spectators will be allowed to attend sports events in stadiums in the country when they re-open on July 11.

The limit applies to “big events, stadiums and concert halls”, the government said, but it may be raised later in the summer.

“A review of the national epidemiological situation will be carried out in mid-July to decide if it is possible to relax (the rules) in the second half of August,” it added in a statement.

Although football’s Ligue 1 and 2 and rugby’s Top 14 league decided to end their seasons in April after they were halted in March because of the coronavirus pandemic, the government’s decision means a crowd should be able to attend football’s French Cup and League Cup finals.
