Terraces will not be off-limits to returning fans

Meanwhile, tickets for this weekend’s Allianz League games in the 26 counties are likely to be distributed among the home team’s families and partners of players and management.

Stewards watch on in empty terracing during the Ulster SFC quarter-final between Cavan and Antrim at Kingspan Breffni in Cavan. 

Terraces will not necessarily be out of bounds for spectators at sports grounds, the Department of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media have confirmed.

As spectators can return to games in the 26 counties from today, it had been expected standing areas would not be considered in accommodating spectators due to the obvious social distancing challenges.
