Changes are on the way in Italy. After starting the season with only 35% of the capacity available in indoor arenas, the Italian government is set to change the situation.

As reported by several Italian newspapers, in fact, the government is expected to increase the allowed capacity in indoor arenas to 60%, a number which will give some room to breathe to several teams.

Due to Covid, the limitations in Italy when it comes to sport and culture have been pretty severe but with the number of cases going down the government has decided to give a boost to these sectors.

If everything will proceed smoothly, these new measures might become effective already this weekend.
