PSL 7: NCOC reduces crowd capacity to 25%, bars entry of children under 12
Anyone violating the NCOC guidelines will be liable to be evicted out of the stadium
Islamabad: The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) on Wednesday accorded an approval to 25% crowd attendance for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 Karachi-leg matches.
Children under the age of 12 will not be allowed to enter the stadium. The matches will be played at the National Stadium from January 27 to February 7.
The decision means around 8,000 spectators will be allowed inside the venue each day. However, to ensure the health and safety of all the players and the attendees, the spectators’ entry will be subject to strict COVID-19 protocols.
Individuals above the age of 12 years must be fully vaccinated. Valid vaccination certificates must be shown at the time of gaining access to the stadium. Wearing masks inside the venue is mandatory.
Anyone violating the NCOC guidelines shall be liable to be evicted out of the stadium.
An official of PCB confirmed to Geo News that as being fully vaccinated is the primary condition for spectators to enter the stadium, fans who are under 12 years of age are not allowed to enter as they’re currently not eligible to receive vaccines.
The official added that this decision was made under guidelines from NCOC.
Earlier, the NCOC had approved 100% crowd attendance but due to the rise in coronavirus cases across Karachi, the decision was changed.
The forum will make a decision closer to time for the Lahore-leg matches scheduled in the Gaddafi, which will be played from February 10-27.
