Standing places return to stadiums in England over 30 years later.
Four Premier League clubs have been licensed to equip their stadiums with standing spaces.
Starting January 1, 2022, at Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City, fans will be able to warmly support their teams without being disturbed by seating.. British Minister of Sports Nigel Huddleston announced this.
All Premier League stadiums were converted to seating after the Hillsborough tragedy in the spring of 1989. 97 people died at the stadium and from the aftermath of the stampede that day.
" However, fans are entitled to different options for how they want to enjoy the match, "
Echoes Prime Minister and Tottenham President Daniel Levy.
" Such changes give variability to both our and visiting fans "
Before the end of the season, specialists will study all the risks, as well as the experience of using standing areas at the stadiums of these four clubs, after which a decision will be made on a larger-scale implementation of this experience..
