The crucial meeting of the chairman of the Football Leagues Administration, Erez Kalfon, with representatives of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Sports, is expected to deal mainly today with the outline of returning football fans to the pitches. Reach agreements, to get the outline set in motion.

According to the document of the Ministry of Culture and Sports which was sent last Friday to the heads of the administration and the Football Association, as well as to the heads of other branches of sports, with up-to-date rules regarding the holding of sports activities in the presence of an audience.

The problem is that some of these conditions, as you will read later, are simply not enforceable in the football industry, so the Ministry of Sports and the Ministry of Health will probably have to compromise on some of their requirements.

In the part where the document refers to the conditions for holding a sports event in the presence of spectators, it is stated: "Watching the event will take place only in seating, in marked places, without dancing and without eating where the event takes place. The ushers will inform the occupants about this; Returning or operating the event. "

In other words, football fans who want to celebrate together a goal that their team has won will not be able to do so, and if they do not stop the celebrations - the game will be stopped.

Is it possible to apply this rule in football fields?

Big doubt, especially if thousands of fans are allowed to enter the stadiums today.

A source close to the details told "Israel Today": "These conditions are more suitable for cultural events and not for football, we hope to solve all the problems."

Another section refers to the audience's arrival at the pitches, and reads: "Time windows for entering the complex will be determined in advance on the ticket. Each spectator (or group of spectators) will enter at the entrance and at the time given in advance of booking the ticket.

According to a source involved in the details, the intention is that the audience will be asked to arrive early to the stadiums, so that there will be no congestion at the entrances, so fans will be asked to arrive at different times and in different groups.

The question arises, what happens if a fan arrives half an hour after the time he was supposed to enter?

Under no circumstances will he enter?

Will the ushers at the entrance be able to prevent such a fan from entering?

It is not clear.

There are other sections in the document that can actually be applied, and probably will be the same: first and foremost, presenting a vaccinated or recovering corona certificate at the entrance to the stadium, measuring heat, marking places to stand in line - to prevent crowds entering and leaving the field - one bouncer for every 50 Viewers, during the event the announcer will remind the audience to observe the guidelines through the announcement system and appropriate signage, and of course keeping distance and separation in the stands.

The document also states that: "In accordance with the services, a usher will be set up to prevent gatherings and hygiene stands will be installed. Facilities with hand sanitizer must be placed in accessible and accessible places. No food will be sold at the entrance to the entrance, Personal drink. "

The document in question referred to the running of sporting events under the current limit of 500 fans.

The beat is known to change in two weeks, and the parties will discuss it today, so it is very possible that if the admission of thousands of football fans is approved, the new conditions will also be a little less severe.

What is clear is that it is certainly possible to arrive at a new outline based on the current outline, only that changes in specific sections as we have brought here will be necessary.
