Fans now allowed to attend matches below National League North and South

Supporters can now watch football matches below National League North and South after the government updated its guidelines.

It means there is now a distinction between the return of fans to recreational sport and elite sport (sixth tier and above), where pilots are required before an intended expansion from October 1.

It appears that there will have to be a cap on the amount of people allowed to watch games, while there will need to be a designated Covid Officer and spectators' details taken upon arrival as part of the test and trace system.

More than 30 MPs wrote to Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston calling for the 'urgent return of fans to non-league clubs'.

Huddleston has now tweeted that clubs below NLN and NLS can admit some spectators safely with social distancing.
