Report: Liverpool exploring technology that could allow partial re-opening of Anfield for fans next season

According to The Athletic’s Raphael Honigstein, Liverpool are exploring the use of a technology from Germany that could allow the partial re-opening of Anfield Stadium for their fans when next season starts.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has taken interest in the technology and the club are holding talks with the Berlin-based company (G2K) that developed it this week.

The artificial intelligence system combines automated temperature and mask checks with computerised crowd management, and has been tested successfully by Borussia Dortmund and Hertha Berlin.

It also ensures that social distancing rules are adhered to in the stadium stands and is set to play a huge role in the Bundesliga’s plans to gradually allow fans back into the Stadiums when next season kicks off in September.
