MADRID (AP) — Spain’s top sports government official says fans may be back in soccer stadiums beginning next season.
Irene Lozano, president of the Spanish Sports Council, believes that conditions could be in place by the fall to allow fans back, with some restrictions.
“We haven’t ruled that out,” she said in an interview with radio network COPE late Tuesday. “Depending on how the epidemic progresses and how the situation progresses, we can start looking into putting a certain number of fans into the stadiums next season.”
The Spanish league is expected to resume — without fans — on the second weekend of June, nearly three months after it was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
