Fans will be allowed to watch Getafe take on Barcelona on the opening weekend of the new La Liga season after a stadium ban was overturned.

The match was due to be played behind-closed-doors because of an incident involving Getafe fans dating all the way back to 2019.

However, the Supreme Court has now overturned the ban, meaning fans will be allowed in to watch the game.

Here’s the club’s official statement:

“The High Court agrees to annul Judgment No. 881/2023, of June 29, and orders the reinstatement of the proceedings so that it can oppose in due time and form, continuing the procedure through its procedural channels.
