Polish football fans allowed at matches from June 19

Football fans will be able to attend matches in Poland’s top division from June 19, with stadiums at a quarter of capacity in line with coronavirus measures, the country’s prime minister said yesterday. That means supporters will be kept away from the two matches being played on Friday, the first since anti-coronavirus measures came into force over two months ago. “Fans will be able to attend matches... from June 19,” Premier Mateusz Morawiecki said. “We will ensure that access to disinfection facilities, the purchase of tickets and the arrival at the stadium does not lead to gatherings and that people are placed in the stadium in accordance with health standards.” The head of the Polish football federation (PZPN), Zbigniew Boniek told reporters that only local fans would be permitted to enter the stadiums.
