English FA chief executive, Mark Bullingham believes fans may safely be able to watch matches as early as September.
According to Guardian, UK health authorities said it is safer now for people to go outside watching matches at the stadium.
“When we look ahead to September, we are hoping we are in a very different situation than we are now as a country, and we hope at some point we can start having crowds back,” Bullingham said.
“We’re looking at loads of options; we’re even getting people to map out what traffic flows [of spectators] look like in stadia, explore what it could look like with one-metre, two-metre social distancing and so on.”
The FA also plan to introduce “digital passports” via an app showing that people are not infected with COVID-19, but that depends on the government’s testing operation.
The FA’s losses £100m to £300m due to coronavirus, which is why the plan to allow fans to watch at stadium is vital to the clubs survival, especially in the lower divisions as they rely on ticket sales.
