The day after the outline approval of the return of 1,500 fans to football stadiums containing 10,000 spectators or more, the teams need to quickly find solutions - who they put in and how to deal with the disappointed fans.
The big question in teams, especially the big ones with tens of thousands of subscribers, is who to give priority to when coming to the games?
"Each team will be responsible for itself in connection with the selection of the fans," the board of directors said.
By the way, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Hapoel Haifa did not want to be the ones to decide which of the fans would come and which would not, so yesterday they opposed the outline, which was approved despite their opposition.
So how will the lucky fans be chosen?
Some groups are considering a raffle, options have also been raised for bringing in soldiers or giving priority to the appointment holders or those who will undertake to purchase a subscription for next season.
There is also the previous winner method, as Kiryat Shmona announced this morning that tickets can be purchased from today at its stadium for the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv, until the day before the game. In short, ideas are not lacking, but as mentioned, each team will choose the method that suits it and announce It's just that it's less acceptable to the big fan organizations. Ultras Hapoel have announced that they will boycott the game against Sakhnin, and come to protest against the outline outside the stadium.
Meanwhile, the teams hope that now that they have responded positively to the outline of the Ministries of Health and Sports, approval will be obtained to bring in at least 6,000-5,000 fans in each playoff game.
The administration stressed that they would continue to fight for an outline according to each grandstand, ie a third of the stadium's contents, and claimed: "It makes no sense that both a 30,000-seat stadium and a 10,000-seat stadium would have the same 1,500 fans. We will do everything to change that."
