The prime minister said that the Champions League games that will be played in Portugal during the month of August will have a reduced audience.
“There is one thing that I am convinced of in each of these games [da Champions] in person will have less audience than in this Vilaret room [local onde se realizou o programa]”, Said António Costa during the interview to the program“ People who don’t know how to be ”at SIC.
The realization of the Champions League games in Lisbon in August had the green light from the Directorate-General for Health (DGS), but it remained to be seen whether the public would be allowed in the stadiums or not.
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa had already confirmed that it would be Portugal to decide whether audience on the stands, not UEFA. “If it is a situation that advises that there is no audience, there is no audience. That is to say, the country in which it takes place is in charge, ”said the President of the Republic in remarks to journalists in Lisbon on 20 June.
The president of the Medical Association warned of the risks of having an audience in the stadiums. “I don’t know if the Champions League final will have an audience or not. If you don’t have an audience, you don’t have any inconvenience. If there is an audience, it can be complicated ”, warned Miguel Guimarães on 18 June.
“Along with the planes, events like football games are not easy to control, and when we are talking about a football event at that level, we are talking about the biggest stadiums we have in Portugal, which take a lot of people. If it is to have an audience, it can be complicated ”, said the president during a visit to the São João hospital in Porto on 18 June.
