The Ministry of Sports announced the maintenance, until the end of August, of the maximum capacity of 5,000 people, with however a possible relaxation by exemption.

From August 15, the prefect will be able to allow clubs to accommodate more than 5,000 people in their stadium.
This possibility will, without a doubt, be warmly welcomed by Olympique Lyonnais. The seven-time French champion club begins the new Ligue 1 season on the Montpellier pitch on August 23, before welcoming Dijon to Groupama Stadium on August 30. These meetings can thus be disputed with more than 5,000 supporters of Gones in the spans, if the prefect gives his approval.
To make his decision, the prefect will rely in particular on “the general health situation and [sur] that of the territories concerned, […] [les] measures implemented by the organizer to ensure compliance with the provisions of Article 1, […] [les] measures specifically taken by the organizer in order to prevent the risk of the virus spreading specific to the event concerned beyond 5,000 people “, is it indicated in the decree published today in the Official Journal.
“The exemptions can relate to a type or a series of events when they take place in the same place “, is it also specified, which will prevent clubs from making a request for each meeting.
This relaxation comes at a time when a show at Puy du Fou welcomed 12,000 people this Friday, seated without any physical distancing.
