In January 2021, the government announced a 25% cap for fans at various match centers after an initial directive to play at empty stadiums.
However, that decision was reversed two months later, with the Ministry of Youth and Sports directing all games to be played behind closed doors, citing a spike in the cases of COVID-19 in the country.
Minister of Youth and Sports on January 5, 2021 in a statement said been granted for sporting activities to take place in front of a 25% capacity crowd.
