Chivas will let people in the stadium for the game against Club América
The governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro, has allowed Chivas to open its doors at 15% capacity for ‘El Clásico Nacional’ on Wednesday night at the Akron stadium.
The Liga MX started the 2020 Guardianes tournament amid the coronavirus pandemic with every game being played behind closed doors. A total of 17 matches were played in the regular season and no fans were allowed in any of the stadiums. Last weekend there were four games in the wildcard rounds and again no fans were allowed in the respective venues.
