The number of new Covid cases almost reached 100 thousand in Italy today, which escalated this decision.

This means that AX Armani Exchange Milan will have a maximum of 4,445 fans at the Mediolanum Forum. The arena has a capacity of 12,700 spectators.

The last two EuroLeague games of Milano Olimpia were suspended due to a Covid outbreak in the team. Their next EuroLeague match is scheduled for January 7, when Milan are set to take on Zenit St. Petersburg at home.
