Serie A stadiums will return to 50% capacity in February, but Lega Serie A CEO, Luigi De Siervo, expects more help from the Italian Government.
Only 5,000 fans were allowed inside the stadiums for the last two Serie A rounds of January, given the peak of the COVID pandemic in the country.
“In February, we will surely return to 50%, but with the support of undersecretary [Valentina] Vezzali, we hope to reach 75% and 100% soon,” De Siervo told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Otherwise, we will suffer economic and sporting damage. Think about European competitions. Our teams would play inside sold-out stadiums abroad and could not receive the same support from their fans at home.”
