Graça Freitas, the head of the General Directorate of Health, left open the possibility of football stadiums receiving public this season and clarified that this situation is dependent on an evaluation.
“We have the ability to be flexible and adapt with progressive measures, we will have to continue to assess the progression of the epidemic, at every moment the risk reassessment will be carried out, as in the last months, measures are always adapted to the present risk , and what can happen ”, stressed Graça Freitas. "I don't know how to answer whether the stadiums will have or not have people, this is very dependent on this rigorous assessment, of measuring the risk and the pros and cons", he concluded.
João Paulo Rebelo, Secretary of State for Youth and Sports, emphasized in the “Jogo Económico” program, broadcast on May 8, that the absence of a public was a “red line” drawn immediately by the DGS and completely rejected the possibility of stadiums have fans again this season.

I know that in the first meetings between the Portuguese Football Federation, the Directorate-General for Health and the Ministry of Health, a series of red lines were established for the return of football to see if it was worth starting the process. And on those red lines was the presence of an audience at the stadiums, ”said João Paulo Rebelo on the“ Jogo Económico ”program on the JE TV platform, at the beginning of last month.
