Only fans of the "host" teams have been allowed to attend the last two Premier League matches

The English Premier League announced today that only fans of host teams will be allowed to attend the last two rounds of the league, while fans of teams playing outside their home countries will be banned from attending matches.

Ten thousand spectators will be allowed to attend the matches in the 37th round on May 18 and 19, and in the final round on May 23, provided that the government moves forward with its plan to ease restrictions on the Corona virus on May 17.

However, there is a decision that was taken to limit this to the fans of the teams that play on their home soil. A statement of the League, published by the British News Agency (BA Media), stated: “After consultations with the clubs, it was agreed that the matches will not be opened to fans of the teams that play outside Home due to varying operational challenges across the league, and the need to provide a coherent approach, while expanding the opportunity to increase the number of home team fans. "

He added, "The safety and security of fans is of the utmost importance. Clubs have a proven track record of providing a safe environment against Coronavirus, and have operational plans ready to safely welcome fans to their stadiums."

The government is set to announce whether or not to ease restrictions no later than May 10.
