The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has welcomed the latest Welsh Government announcement regarding the further easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
The announcement paves the way for the return of spectators at football matches in Wales as well as the return of tournaments and festivals.
From Monday 7 June larger outdoor organised gatherings and events, such as concerts, football matches and sporting activities, can go ahead for up to 4,000 people standing and 10,000 people seated. All organisers planning events and activities must undertake a full risk assessment and put in place measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus, including social distancing.
A statement on the FAW website said: “The FAW awaits further information and formal guidance on these developments from Welsh Government, which are anticipated to be available next week.
“Once in place, updated Return to Play protocols and guidance will be prepared and shared across our football family.
“The FAW National League Board (NLB) has approved the FAW Return to Spectating Regulations and these will be published in due course to the COVID-19 Hub.
“The NLB has also agreed that the FAW should run test events in the coming weeks before a full return to spectators in order to protect the wellbeing of all supporters over a longer period of time.”
