’Tosin OluwalowoOperators of football viewing centres have expressed their delight at the return of league football across Europe. Major leagues in Europe were suspended in March due to COVID-19, leaving the viewing centres deserted, with the operators counting their losses. Some of the viewing centre operators, who spoke with our correspondent, said they were putting in place safety measures for their customers ahead of the resumption of the other leagues. But now, the government has relaxed the lockdown, we are likely to show the English Premier League from June 17,” Kayode Babatuyi, a viewing centre operator in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, told The PUNCH. I have also called some of my colleagues and we’ve agreed that nobody would be allowed into the viewing centre without facemasks.
