Fans of the teams in the Premier League (Radad Jabara and Omri Stein)
Today (Wednesday) there is to be a discussion between the Ministry of Health and the representatives of the Ministry of Sports regarding the return of the football fans to the stadiums. As you may recall, the league administration demands a return of 30% of the stadium’s contents and that each stand be counted on its own.
The Ministry of Health is mainly afraid of crowds outside the stadiums, on the part of fans who will not keep their distance from each other. Therefore, it is not at all certain that they will agree to the required fan numbers and at this point the ministry staff may agree to the entry of up to 5,000 fans in the big stadiums. According to sources in the talks, “it seems that the groups themselves do not care at all about the audience’s repetition. They are not heard at all, it seems that the current situation in which there is no audience is very comfortable for them.”

There is no doubt that the fact that so far no voices have been heard from the team owners, players and even the crowd itself, in order to pressure the return of fans, has made football the last branch awaiting approval in terms of return to routine in the current beat of relief, while hotels approved The restaurants are back.
When no pressure is applied then politicians have time and they should not rush to approve a return of an audience. The promise of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the crowd will return when he is vaccinated should not be fulfilled, because in any case it seems that the decision-makers, the teams and the fans are indifferent, and they do not mind not coming to the stadium. Did everyone just come to terms with the situation?
In the coming hours they will know what the Ministry of Health has decided, when the people of the Ministry of Sports are in discussions, as well as those of the Football Directorate, who are conducted in front of all parties. Despite this, it seems that everyone has time and that by and large the situation is comfortable for everyone.
