Russian league to allow soccer fans in stadiums

Fans will be in the stadiums when the Russian soccer league restarts next month.

The Russian government's coronavirus task force says spectators will be allowed if they don't exceed 10% of the stadium's capacity.

The Russian league previously announced it will resume games on June 21.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko says "both players and fans have missed the vivid emotions of a match and the noise from the stands. Soon all this will return."

The move could help clubs stem losses from refunding ticket holders.

Only neighboring Belarus is currently holding professional soccer games with fans in the stadium.
