About 20,000 spectators are scheduled to arrive at Sami Ofer Stadium tomorrow (Monday) to watch the quarterfinal match between Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Shmuel.

Following the Corona scare, fans began canceling their arrival at the game and Sammy Ofer Stadium began to prepare exceptionally well to ensure that everything went smoothly. In an unusual move, the stadium administration began disinfecting all areas within the facility. To that end, dozens of workers were recruited who dispersed disinfectant on every chair and inside the stands. In addition, the restrooms were also massively disinfected, as were the door handles in the stadium.

"We are doing everything possible in light of the situation," stated Itamar Chizik, chairman of the board of directors of Sami Ofer Stadium, adding: "A lot of efforts and resources have been invested to ensure the public's peace as far as possible." Beyond disinfection, stadiums will be hand sanitized tomorrow , Like some hospitals in the country.

Maccabi Haifa was very pleased to hear about the safety measures at the stadium, especially in light of the fact that 1800 fans had already canceled the ticket. It is important to note that the canceled tickets went on sale and will probably be purchased by other fans.
