The Italian coach of Fujairah, Fabio Viviani, said that the absence of the fans in attending the match casts a shadow on the level of the teams during football matches because the players are accustomed to the presence of the fans, which gives them the necessary motivation to present their best, but at the same time stressed that the empty stands confirmed that the world is united to combat the spread Corona Virus.
The Fujairah games were held in front of its host Al Ain team in the 18th round of the Arab Gulf Football League in the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium and Khorfakkan’s meeting with its guest Bani Yas without the attendance of the fans in line with the health directives.
The Italian coach told "Emirates Today" that Virus Corona has proven that the world is united in facing the epidemic, especially as it is a danger to all countries of the world and not specific countries, which is what requires everyone to stop this disease.
Viviani praised the decision issued by most sports federations in the world to hold sporting events behind closed doors, and said: "It started in Italy and this decision, which takes into account the public interest, has to be taken and it is good that the countries of the world followed the same path."
