Following the relaxation of restrictions on holding events in Tokyo, the Japan Sumo Association has announced that it will hold a summer sumo tournament with spectators from the 4th day of this month.
The Japan Sumo Association was planning to hold an unattended summer place on the 9th of this month until the 3rd day of the 11th of this month, which was the deadline for declaring an emergency, and then let the spectators enter.
The Sumo Association has re-discussed how to hold the event following the extension of the state of emergency until the 31st of this month.
As a result, although the declaration was extended, it was decided that it would be possible to hold the event with spectators because the restrictions on the event would be relaxed in Tokyo, and the spectators would be put in as planned from the 4th day of the summer place on the 12th of this month. Announced that it will be held.
Ticket sales will not resume, and only customers who purchased tickets by the 27th of last month will be able to watch the game.
According to Mr. Shibatayama, the director of the Sumo Association's public relations department, "I'm grateful for the relaxation. If customers come in, the competition between wrestlers will be different. I want to hold the venue with the safety and security of the customers first." I was talking.
