The Korean top-flight season began on May 8 in empty stadiums as part of measures to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus before a limited number of fans was allowed to attend K League games from Aug. 1.

Yonhap said the government had now given the green light for stadiums to operate at 30% capacity although the league would limit attendance to 25% to ensure the safety of supporters.

Strict health and safety protocols will remain in place, with mask wearing and social distancing mandatory inside the stadium, the report said. Loud chanting and singing is banned.
