Fiji: crowds allowed at sporting events

Football is slowly returning to action in Fiji and in most countries in Oceania – but certainly the game is not the same without the presence of the fans. Differently from European national leagues that recently returned to action but with no supporters, Fijian Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama stated “gyms, swimming pools, and fitness centers will be allowed to operate as well from tomorrow [22nd June],” as reported by FBC.

In the statement of Fiji’s chief of government also added how sporting events will work from now on in the country: “We will be permitting live sporting events to resume but with restrictions, our formal indoor and outdoor sporting venues can host sporting events with spectators at 50% capacity as long as physical distancing is maintained within the venue”.

The Prime Minister also mentioned “[…] Fiji’s outbreak contained we can safely reclaim our status as the beating heart of world rugby and welcome back football, boxing, and all other contact sports as well,” he also added that “[…] the operators must keep the facilities clean and maintain contact tracing information for every person that uses their facilities […]”.
