BERN, Switzerland (AP) – Football and ice hockey clubs in Switzerland can have two-thirds of the stadiums filled in October, following a federal resolution on Wednesday.
The Swiss government has said that spectators wear masks and will be given seats.Outdoor group enthusiasts will not be allowed and touch search plans should be in place.
Lawmakers announced key points as a component of the new easing of boundaries to mass meetings over the coronavirus pandemic that prevailed in February.
As of October 1, the maximum of another 1000 people for sports and other occasions can be lifted with the approval of the public government at the canton (state) level.
Swiss sports officials have warned that some clubs may fail without having to increase their income on the day in shape by selling tickets, food and products to fans.
One of the first times to gain advantages will be the Swiss national football team that will receive Croatia, a finalist for the 2018 World Cup, on 7 October.Gallen’s 17,000-seat stadium can accommodate more than 11,000 gaming enthusiasts.
Under the new leadership, football clubs Young Boys and Basel can sell more than 20,000 tickets for matches.
The Swiss league closed its doors in February, resumed in June and finished its season in August.The new season begins at the end of this month with two rounds scheduled before the crowd limits relax.
The Swiss hockey league cancelled last season in March and late the start of the new season until October in the hope of a favorable federal decision.
The economy of their clubs remains “precarious,” said the hockey league, which had called for the opening of stadiums at full capacity.
