Sport Minister Vincenzo Spadafora
said Friday that regional governors may get to decide whether
fans can attend sporting events after a video conference with
officials on Friday.
Fans are not allowed to attend soccer matches and other sporting
events at the moment due to restrictions aimed at combating he
spread of the coronavirus.
The upshot of Friday's video conference that featured
Emilia-Romagna Governor Stefano Bonaccini, the president of the
conference of Italian regions, is that governors may be given
the power to decide whether to allow a limited number of fans to
attend events on an upcoming government decree.
Representatives of the health ministry, Italian Olympic
Committee CONI and the CTS expert panel advising the government
on coronavirus measures also participated in the meeting.
"The ministry, the sporting institutions and the local
authorities, are committed to working for the resumption of
(sporting) activities and competitions at all levels in the
utmost safety with rigorous respect of specific guidelines and
protocols, and the gradual opening of events to the public,"
read a statement by Spadafora.
The statement also mentioned the need to guarantee motor and
sporting activities in school gyms to protect the right to

activities of amateur sports clubs.
