By db-admin
DBasia.news – The FA Cup Final 2019-2020 season will bring Chelsea against Arsenal at Wembley stadium on Saturday (1/8). The match will be held in private and fans of both teams have been asked not to come to the stadium.
The location of the Wembley stadium and the origin of the two clubs who are both from London do make the potential presence of supporters very likely. Though it will be dangerous considering the corona virus pandemic is not over.
Recognizing that threat, the FA worked closely with Chelsea and Arsenal to regulate the behavior of their respective fans. Lovers of the two clubs were asked to remain at home and watch the game from the television screen.
A surefire trick carried out by Chelsea to make the fans stay at home. They prepared an event by presenting guest stars and their legends that can only be watched online.
Arsenal seems to also be doing the same way. This is the first time for 148 years the FA Cup, the final match took place without spectators.
But it had to be done. FA certainly does not want to take risks in the midst of a situation that is not safe as it is today.
FA believes this appeal will succeed. Though similar appeals have been ignored by Liverpool fans when celebrating the Premier League title.
The same thing was done by Leeds United fans. They celebrate the success of promotion to the Premier League without regard to social distancing rules.
At the moment several European countries are starting to face the second wave of the corona virus pandemic. If it cannot be controlled, this outbreak could threaten the competition schedule next season.
