Note: On 9 July 2020 the Ministry of Health announced that the stadiums are not allowed to host spectators due to a recent spike of COVID-19-related infections in Bulgaria.[2] On 31 July 2020 the Ministry for Sport and Youth confirmed the extension of these provisions until 31 August 2020.[3] Yet, on 5 August 2020 the Ministry for Sport and Youth reversed its decision by allowing stadiums to host up to 50% of its capacity, but no more than 1,000 spectators per block.[4]
