Girona will not know until this Wednesday, day of the first leg of the promotion playoff semifinals against Almería, if their fans can come to Montilivi. In the rojiblanca entity it was expected throughout Tuesday to receive the notification from the Ministry of Health, but the wait is on the way to becoming endless. The Higher Sports Council (CSD) left open the possibility of allowing spectators to enter the matches where promotion to First is at stake, although for this it is vital to receive the approval of Health. Something that none of the teams involved, Girona, Almería, Rayo and Leganés, have still received.
The request made by the CSD to Health was that a maximum of 5,000 people or 30% of the capacity could attend the stadiums and Girona is willing to rush the final decision as much as possible because it does not lose hope that its fans will be able to witness this Wednesday's duel against Almería live. Taking into account the total capacity of Montilivi, around 3,000 fans could access it. If the go-ahead is finally received, the margin of maneuver that the rojiblanco club would have is minimal. Although he has been working on the possibility of his followers returning to Montilivi and it has the protocol and the security device prepared.
Girona's first team has been playing in Montilivi for more than a year without an audience And the last time the fans were able to occupy the seats of the rojiblanco fiefdom was in March 2020 in a Girona-Almería. Of course, on the other hand, to see a duel of the subsidiary (against Europe) and the first women's team (against Zaragoza), spectators could be seen in the stands. It will be time to arm yourself with patience and wait to see if the men's first team can also enjoy it.
