Football fans were banned from the stadiums since March following the outbreak of the pandemic, however latest information has it that government will allow them to return to the stands as from September.

The Sun are reporting that a further easing of the lockdown will be implemented by the UK government with strict rules in order to test possibility of safe return of fans into the stands.

Other sports that will be considered for fans are racing events, rugby as well as the Snooker World Championship.

Premier League officials have said that the new league season will return on September 12 and some of the matches will be tested for fans’ safe return, while full roll-out will be implemented in October.

However it won’t be an easy task as fans will be mandated to sign a code of behavior.

Meanwhile, government says the games happening in the North West will not be included as a result of the spike in the number of cases.
