The top football matches under the Hong Kong Football Association could finally be reopened to fans with the government's approval today (7th). Fans responded positively, but the number of people in the first game was still less than 300.

However, even if the stadium is reopened, the authorities have imposed a lot of restrictions on the venue's snack shops, including only allowing the sale of drinks. The owner can only lament, "One mosquito gets one mosquito."

The local football match was reopened to spectators today. The first match was Jinfeng vs. Guan Chung Nam at Yuen Long Stadium. In the end, only 235 spectators entered.

The Football Association asked the fans to follow the epidemic prevention measures. In order to facilitate the arrangement, the audience entrance was changed from Yuen Long Sports Road to the Yuen Long Swimming Pool.

Fans must take their temperature before buying tickets, fill out the health declaration form, and enter the stadium after checking the information by the staff; some of the seats on the site are sealed with adhesive tape to prevent fans from occupying more than 4 seats in a row.

Fans criticize the government for opening admission long ago

Mr. Li, who lives in Tai Po, is the first fan to buy tickets since the Hong Kong Super League was shut down due to the outbreak of the epidemic. He believes that the admission procedures are simple and the process is fairly smooth.

Approximately 10 months later, he can finally enter the stadium. He is very happy. "It doesn't matter what the scene is. The most important thing is admission support. Finally, you don't have to just watch the game at the computer. It has a sense of the scene and is more authentic." He laughed locally The attendance rate of the event is not too high. As long as the epidemic prevention measures are taken, the government should allow the audience to enter the venue as soon as possible. "The theater has been open for a long time, and I am not too worried about getting infected by entering the venue."

As for the last match on the same day at the Mong Kok Stadium, which has more convenient transportation, about 10 fans were waiting outside the gate for admission nearly an hour and a half ago.

Mr. Xiao, who has two years of local pop-up age, and his girlfriend, Ms. Hu, also re-entered the venue after mid-January. The former said that in addition to supporting local waves, they also support local culture.

Recently, some netizens said that even if the local wave is reopened, the local wave will be "unobtrusive." Mr. Xiao said: "At this time, it is very precious that some people are willing to engage in local wave. Professional players are very interested. Everyone says that they love Hong Kong, so even You don’t love football, you’re not interested in local football, and you don’t have to talk coldly.

After nearly 10 months of waiting, fans can finally re-enter the stadium and watch the game in person. Some fans admitted that "the sense of presence is hard to replace."

Snack shops have a lot of restrictions: only withstand first

The Yuen Long Stadium reopened for fans to enter the stadium. The snack shop in the venue should have benefited. However, one hour after the shop opened, the guests were still only in single digits. The clerk once held a piece of paper that said "Drinks are sold in the snack shop" to the entrance to promote .

.

Mr. Huang, who took over the snack shop at the beginning of this year, revealed that the shop has been closed for more than half a year since the outbreak of the epidemic. After the stadium reopened, although there were people running, the business did not grow.

He also said that he received a notice from the venue and the FA about a week ago that no food should be sold today; if guests buy bottled drinks, they must be poured into paper cups.

"This is not environmentally friendly. It requires more procedures and costs, and it feels unhygienic. Customers would rather buy paper-packed drinks." According to information, the authorities concerned were worried that fans would be "pull bottles", but no security was seen when entering the stadium. Checking the belongings of the fans, Mr. Huang smiled bitterly: "It's a headache, but there is no way. I have to resist it first. I have to clear the goods and earn one mosquito."

Although there will be spectators entering the stadium again, the snack shop only sells drinks. The business is cold and the clerk has to carry cards to the entrance to promote it.
