The announcement has a lot of
electoral effect
. After all, football mobilizes, beyond the fact that it hardly moves votes. However, the press conference of two officials of the National Government cleared up some doubts regarding the return of the public to the stadiums. The match between Argentina and Bolivia, which will be played on September 9 at the Monumental,
just three days before PASO
, will be a
"pilot test"
, according to the definition of the Ministers of Health and Sports, for the staggered return of the fans to the national championship.
Clarín
had warned about the decision of the Rosada, take advantage of the duel that the National Team will play at home (against Venezuela and Brazil will be a visitor) to show a photo linked to the new normal. And in that sense, Carla Vizzotti, in charge of the health portfolio, and Matías Lammens, Minister of Tourism and Sports, spoke.
What is not yet defined is how the protocol will be
, despite the fact that they have already received suggestions from the medical department of the Professional League.
"Not only will it be played with an audience in this qualifying match, but the return will be gradual and by the end of September we hope to have an audience in all stadiums under the same conditions of this pilot test," said Lammens.
The former president of San Lorenzo also announced that
there will be a capacity of 30% and that the match for the Qualifiers will be a rehearsal
for the realization of other massive shows.
"It does not seem reckless to us, otherwise we would not make this decision," said Vizzotti.

"Once the work teams meet, we will give details on the measures to be taken," added Lammens, without giving further details. What is known, for sure, is that the AFA will put tickets
on
sale
through the online system
open to all public and that, according to the capacity of the Núñez stadium,
21 thousand spectators will be able to access.
It is also estimated that a good slice of this total will go to commercial commitments and not health "protocol entries" but, as they are called, those reserved for family members and leaders.
In any of the cases,
all the locations will be nominal, identifying with name and ID each person who enters with their ticket.
Regarding the sanitary protocol, from the League they advised the following points for the date that will be played on the last weekend of September or the first of October (most likely), just when River and Boca will face each other in Núñez.
The possible protocol
Presentation of affidavit.
Proof of vaccination.
Swabbing 72 hours before the game, in certain places.
30% expandable capacity, progressively if the pandemic allows it.
24 hours before the game, all the information on who is going to the stadium must be available on the indicated platforms, which could be Tribuna Segura or Argentina Cuidar.
Pilot test in five games to be determined in the first three dates.
Extended protocol for Reserve and juveniles.
One seat taken every three free and a row of separation.
All seated.
120 protocol entries per club.
Possibility of a tribune for vaccinated and another for non-vaccinated.
Each club will define the way in which it will distribute the percentage.

Negative reaction
The partners took the news on social media with concern.
Fundamentally, because they have many questions regarding the realization of the PCR, if it will be
a cost that they will have to pay themselves
, for example.
As vaccination is optional, will it be necessary to show the vaccination card?
What will happen to the bars?
Can anyone imagine them watching the games sitting down?
There is another issue to consider.
If there are five games per date for three weekends,
what will be the election criteria?
It is assumed that all clubs will be able to receive people at least once before access to all fields is allowed, already at the end of October or beginning of November.
The idea is to do it in the different venues where the First Division tournament is played.
Without a doubt, on October 3 there will be River fans at the Monumental, whose headquarters are in the city of Buenos Aires.
Afterwards, it will be sought to have a meeting with people in each district: Province of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza, Santa Fe, Rosario, Tucumán, Mendoza, Entre Ríos and Santiago del Estero.
