‘Stadiums could reopen at 25%’

FIGC President Gabriele Gravina has announced that he is working for Serie A stadia to reopen at quarter capacity.

Serie A and B resumed last month behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 outbreak still being considered a pandemic, but Gravina is confident clubs will soon be able to fill 25 percent of seats.

“We’re working so that fans can go back to experiencing football up close again,” he told Avvenire.

“We’re working on percentages. As of today, we’re thinking of 25 percent. The problem lies with managing flows.
