Tokyo Olympics to confirm fan attendance in June

Organisers of the rescheduled 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo have today (Wednesday) confirmed that a final decision on domestic fan attendance will be made in June, just weeks before the start of events.

With 86 days left until the opening of the Olympic Games, and 118 days left until the opening of the Paralympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), International Paralympic Committee (IPC), Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020), Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Government of Japan today agreed on new measures designed to ensure the safe organisation of the Games.

Included in today’s announcement is an update on the fan attendance situation. Organisers of the Games last week admitted that a final decision on domestic fan attendance may not be made until weeks before it is due to commence – a stance that was effectively confirmed today.
