The hope that the Serie A 2020-2021 will see the return of the fans in the stands did not last long, for clubs, institutions and fans. According to what was collected by the ‘Calcio e Finanza’ portal, in fact, at the end of the meeting of the Scientific Technical Committee it was decided not to change the health protocol.
Nothing to do therefore for the last appeal of the president of the Football Association Gabriele Gravina, who a few hours before the start of the championship, whose first match will be Fiorentina-Torino scheduled for Saturday 19 August at 18, had asked for a relaxation of the measures, especially in terms of tampons, a request to be read also from an economic point of view given the high costs of anti-Coronavirus health measures.
Furthermore, Gravina was not the only one to expose himself on the subject, finding broad support in the first place from the Ministry of Sport, which is allegedly preparing a report on the scanning of the matches of the 2020-21 season and on the possibility of extending the frequency of tampons for the teams. professional teams, but also by various presidents of the top league, from that of Cagliari Tommaso Giulini to the number one of Turin Urbano Cairo, convinced by the need to open curves and stands, at least partially, also in order to contain the heavy economic impact that the matches behind closed doors they have on the coffers of clubs.
The CTS, however, said no, considering the risk of a new exponential increase in the rates still too high contagion so that it is decided to allow the fans to return to crowding the Italian facilities. Until next 6 October, therefore, the matches of the professional championships will continue to be played behind closed doors, with limited admissions to a few professionals. The next step will be based on the Government’s choice to wait for the first feedback on the restart of the schools.
The Italian situation is therefore the polar opposite of what is happening in Germany, where it caused a sensation that to attend the match between Hansa Rostock and Stuttgart, of the German Cup, they were able to attend 7500 spectators, without any social distancing.
