La Liga Sets Protocols for Fans to Attend Matches Again

MADRID (AP) — Fans will have their temperature checked and will need to wear face masks when they are eventually allowed back into soccer stadiums in Spain, according to protocol guidelines sent to clubs.

They will also be told to avoid hugs and high-fives when their team scores.

There is still no timeframe for the return of fans, but the Spanish league has drafted guidelines to be followed for when authorities allow it.

The protocol was sent to clubs late Sunday and was obtained by The Associated Press on Monday. The 16-page document includes details on how fans must behave to guarantee their safe return to stadiums.
