The European Indoor Football Championship will be the first sports event in the Netherlands with an audience. Following the relaxations announced by the cabinet tonight, spectators may be present at the matches in Amsterdam and Groningen from tomorrow.
The cabinet has set a maximum of 1250 people for sports events that take place indoors. This means that fans are welcome again at the last round of the group stage and at the quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final.
“Fantastic news”, says tournament director Gijs de Jong. “Finally, the doors can open to the public. Not only for the fans this is the chance to experience the European Championship up close, but also for all teams, municipalities and everyone who has worked hard for this all along. “
