FIBA confirms that the Euroleague will be played in Girona, no matter how difficult it is for the public

Removing the entanglement of the current restrictions regarding the public in sports shows in the first section of the escalation that were announced yesterday, is the great doubt that remains pending the dispute of theEuroleague in Fontajau in two weeks. Also yesterday, FIBA ​​reaffirmed that Girona will be one of the four venues for the first bubble of the group stage of the Euroleague with Spar Girona, Ekaterinburg, Schio i Riga playing six games in Fontajau between Tuesday, December 1 and Friday 4. There will be two games on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; the first at five in the afternoon and the second at eight in the evening. The host team, now coached by Alfred Julbe, will always play in this second schedule, that of eight in the evening, facing on December 1 in the Latvian Riga, the 3rd in the Russian Ekaterinburg and the 4th in the Italian Schia.

In the process of de-escalation announced yesterday by the Generalitat, sports in enclosed spaces can have a capacity of 30%, as well as theaters and other cultural venues, and the Spar Girona clings to this to think that its subscribers can see live Euroleague matches. One 30% of the capacity of Fontajau, which has 4,200 chairs after discounting the retractable bleachers, they would be about 1,400 spectators. Enough to bring in the majority of subscribers the club has right now.

In any case, many interpretations of yesterday’s de-escalation announcement understand that the 30% capacity in enclosed spaces refers to practitioners and not to spectators in professional competitions. That would close the door to the desire of Spar Girona to play the Euroleague with the public.
