This is news that will delight French sports clubs, even if there are still many details to settle.
Invited on France Info on Friday morning, the minister delegate in charge of sports Roxana Maracineanu confirmed that a switch to proportional gauges in the stadiums was getting closer and closer.
As a reminder, due to the strong epidemic resurgence, the closed enclosures are limited today to the reception of 2,000 spectators, the open to 5,000.
"We will go beyond these thresholds," explains Roxana Maracineanu.
The decree that will allow it has not yet been written, it will depend on the health situation and no doubt that the decision will be left to the prefects in the territories, because the epidemic situation is not the same everywhere.

It remains to be seen when.
"It is not yet topical, tempers the minister.
The vaccination pass must be in effect.
We will have to be vaccinated, we will no longer be able to come with a simple test ”.
Asked about the issue of the mass of spectators in a single stand, as had been the case during Lens-Lille on Tuesday evening at the Stade Félix-Bollaert, the minister called “everyone's responsibility”.
According to our information, Roxana Maracineanu had also sent a message to Noël Le Graët, the president of the Federation, to ask him that such images do not occur again.

“I especially informed the clubs of the importance, whether on television or for the spectators who come, to take the distances and to wear the mask, she explains.
Enforcing this is what will allow after the vote of this law to go beyond the 5000. It is above all the responsibility of everyone, where in the end we do not bother to think about the image that it will give and reality for these supporters who are piling up.
If there are restrictions it is so that we put distance and I remind you, it is 2 meters between people.
