Italy could allow spectators to return to soccer stadiums in September if the COVID-19 situation allows, sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora said on Friday, adding that capacity would be limited.
The two main divisions of the Italian league, Serie A and Serie B, resumed in June after a three-month stoppage. However, all matches have been played behind closed doors since then.
“If the epidemiological curve allows, fans can return to the stadiums in September,” Spadafora told Rai state broadcast in a radio interview.
“Obviously, we cannot fill the stadiums as we did before, but we will have to respect a whole series of measures that are being studied at the moment.”
