Sports fans in the country remain in limbo over the full return of spectators to live sports events with only a maximum of 2 000 spectators currently allowed in stadia. That has had a severe negative impact on the entire business of sports.
The sector was upbeat that its fortunes would turn around in 2022, however, that might not be the case. The limited number of fans allowed in stadiums has put the industry under immense pressure. Although the government was open to engagements with relevant stakeholders in a move to pave the way for the number of spectators to be increased – that has yet to materialise. But the sports industry is also to blame.
They too like this because political rallies do gather people but only sport is prohibited from giving supporters permission to enter stadiums.
Our government os very stubborn and boring. Everything is open except sports. I mean how do you open gigs n close stadiums Mara?
