LONDON (AP) — Up to 10,000 supporters could be allowed back into English Premier League stadiums for the final day of the season in May and in time for Wembley Stadium hosting European Championship games in plans announced by the government on Monday.
May 17 is the earliest day for the implementation of stage three of the gradual easing of England’s coronavirus lockdown that could see sports venues reopened to spectators. The Premier League ends on May 23.
Stadiums with more than 40,000 seats, including the home of Premier League leader Manchester City, will be allowed up to 10,000 fans spaced out.
