A thousand fans wanted Barcelona to be allowed into the game, the Catalan Community Health Minister did not allow it.

The FC Barcelona-Ferencváros match will be played behind closed doors next Tuesday on the first day of the group stage of the Football Champions League.

FC Barcelona has drawn up a security protocol, with the hope of allowing at least a thousand fans to enter the Camp Nou stadium, of 98,000 people, but the proposal has been rejected by the Minister of Health of Catalonia, Alba Verges, and the Secretary of State, Josep Maria Argimon.

On Wednesday, the Catalan regional authority announced that it would have to keep all bars and restaurants closed from Friday to stop the coronavirus epidemic. Argimon said it would be “difficult to explain” these measures if soccer fans could watch the games on site.

Verges also ruled out a small number of spectators from entering the stadium.

It is very difficult to think about allowing a public event in the current situation. I’m not saying this is the case throughout the season, but it would be impossible on Tuesday.

He explained.

Spanish daily Sport also wrote that Barcelona want to play Ferencváros in front of an audience, and the decision can only be made officially on Friday after a full review of the club’s application and plans.

Sergi Solé, a journalist for the sports daily El Mundo Deportivo, told Kossuth Radio that FC Barcelona was asking the Catalan government to allow thousands of spectators against the FTC, 10,000 against Dinamo Kiev and 25,000 against Juventus, but this was rejected by The authorities. and the decision is already formal.

Fradi can play his home games in front of the spectators depending on the current position. UEFA, citing the good experience of the Budapest Super Cup final, has allowed spectators to participate in matches in addition to the coronavirus, so that a third of stadiums can be filled, subject to strict regulations. This can be overridden by local regulations, as in Barcelona.

Ferencváros will host his first Hungarian BL game against Dinamo Kiev at the Groupama Arena, meaning 7,300 home fans, and Juventus and FC Barcelona are expected to be watched by 20,000 spectators at the Puskás Arena.
