ALL SET TO STAY THE DISTANCE

THE league resumed on June 6 behind closed doors but they were opened to punters at the weekend in limited style.

Attendances have been restricted to a third of capacity, with strict social distancing measures in place.

But Dinamo Zagreb banned wearing masks – as they don’t want notorious hooligans to be able to go disguised.

The champions played Slaven Koprivnica last night with 8000 fans in the 35,000 Maksimir Stadium not allowed to sit next to or behind one other.

But Rijeka fans seemed to ignore the 1.5m guidelines in their 2-2 draw with Lokomotiv Zagreb at the weekend.

THERE are plans to allow up to 1000 to attend sporting events from June 22.

And government virologist Rastislav Mad’ar has indicated “several thousand” fans could be allowed into stadiums before the end of the season with strict hygiene and social distancing measures.

In the meantime, supporters have been finding innovative ways to watch their teams. Around 300 fans in Plzen and a further 120 watched the big match between Viktoria Plzen and Sparta Prague from the safety of their cars, with the game broadcast at drive-in cinemas.

THE Ekstraklasa was one of the first to return behind closed doors on May 29 but supporters will be allowed back into stadiums from tomorrow.

Crowds will be reduced to a one quarter capacity at first with strict social distancing procedures being followed.

Lechia Gdansk have tried to keep things familiar for home games by sticking photos of their hardcore fans on cutouts in the stands. Pogon Szczecin supporters arranged a guard of honour for their side, holding flares aloft every 10m on the road leading into the stadium.

It’s hoped to wrap up the season by July 19, with Legia Warsaw leading.
