The capacity for Serie A stadiums from January 16 to 23 will be reduced to just 5,000 due to growing COVID-19 concerns.
Unlike in other countries, the arenas never went back to full capacity in Italy after the initial lockdown in March 2020.
They had reached 75 per cent, with entry only for those with an EU Green Pass, so with proof of vaccination, of recent recovery from COVID or a negative test posted within 48 hours.
That was reduced back down to 50 per cent for 2022, with a chequerboard seating arrangement to help provide social distancing and masks mandatory at all times.
They are also only allowed in with a Super Green Pass, so vaccination status or recent recovery are mandatory, a negative test is no longer considered sufficient.
Now with the Omicron variant tearing through Europe, the Italian authorities have reduced the capacity again to just 5,000.
As it is from January 16, that means the Italian Supercup between Inter and Juventus at San Siro on January 12 will not be affected.
That can still sell out to 50 per cent capacity.
