Boris Johnson has announced football fans should be allowed back to sports stadiums in the United Kingdom from October in a huge boost for the next Premier League season.
The Prime Minister made the announcement on Friday, July 17, in the latest lifting of the UK’s lockdown.
Johnson said “From August 1, we will restart indoor performance to a live audience, subject to the success of pilots, and we will also pilot larger gatherings in venues like sports stadia, with a view to a wider reopening in the autumn. From October, we intend to bring back audiences in stadia. Again, these changes must be done in a Covid-secure way, subject to the successful outcome of pilots”
