Stadio Olimpico

Lega Serie A expect the stadiums to be around 50% full at the start of the 2021/22 season.

As reported by Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the League and the clubs are pushing for the stadiums to be fully reopened for next season, pointing to the fact that fans would need to be vaccinated in order to be allowed in, which could in turn boost vaccination rates.

The Covid-19 pandemic severely affected the finances of the Serie A clubs, with matchday revenues being key for clubs’ financial stability. The re-opening of stadiums next season is another step in the quest to return back to pre-pandemic life.
