Pedro Proença once again expresses the intention of having fans in the stadiums.
The president of the Portuguese Professional Football League (LPFP) defended this Friday that football stadiums can have an audience “as happens at Avante’s party or bullfights.”
Pedro Proença shared this conviction at the end of the act of the draw for the LPFP contest, although he stressed that it is an issue that “is in the hands of the General Directorate of Health.” [DGS]”If the Avante match is allowed to have an audience, in addition to bullfighting, we can also create all the conditions so that, quickly, there can be fans in professional football,” said the leader, referring to the covid-19 pandemic.
Pedro Proença stressed, however, that the clubs “know that there are values, such as Health, which, at this moment, cannot be surpassed”, but recalled that “football lives for the spectators”. “What we ask is that there be an equity for football in relation to other activities,” he said.
The LPFP leader regained “exemplary form” as the organization managed to “end the competition [I Liga] last season, “after it was halted in March due to the covid-19 pandemic, assuming it was prepared to” add audiences “this season.
The Club League has already announced its intention to have fans in the stands in the quarterfinals of the League Cup, at the Estádio Municipal de Leiria, but believes that “long before” the public will be able to see the rest of the competitions. “We have expectations that things will happen before the four finalists in Leiria. The document that we deliver to the DGS goes in this direction, that this anticipation of the return happens before [de janeiro]. But it is the pandemic situation that will determine the position of the DGS ”, said Pedro Proença.
The leader of the LPFP guaranteed that “the clubs have always complied with the regulations of the General Directorate of Health and will continue to do so.”
The AI League will begin on the weekend of September 19 and 20, one week after the start of the II League, and both professional competitions will end on May 19, 2021.
Portugal represents at least 1,815 deaths associated with covid-19 in 57,074 confirmed cases of infection, according to the latest bulletin from the Directorate General of Health (DGS).
