La Liga can take another step towards normality next season after the Spanish government confirmed on Thursday it has lifted its ban on fans attending stadiums. The exact capacity allowed in each stadium will be determined by regional authorities, with some restrictions still possible, especially in the north of Spain. But the government giving permission for supporters to return is an important first step as La Liga clubs begin to recover financially from the Covid-19 pandemic. "We can return let's say to normality in terms of fans being allowed into stadiums," Spanish health minister, Carolina Darias said on Thursday, with the announcement applying both to La Liga and Spain's ACB basketball league. Fans were allowed to return for the last two rounds of La Liga last season but in only five regions and with a limit of 30 percent capacity and 5,000 people.
