⚠️Capacity cut to 50% for Argentina v Bolivia after FIFA sanction | OneFootball

The Argentina National Team confirmed that Córdoba’s Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium will operate at 50% capacity during next Wednesday, September 30’s match against Bolivia.

The origin of the disciplinary sanction

The measure was imposed by FIFA following racist, homophobic, and discriminatory chants and insults from Argentine fans during the World Cup against rivals such as Cape Verde, Egypt, Switzerland, England, and Spain. The sanction includes a financial fine and the partial closure of the stadium, mainly affecting the sections behind the goals.

Restrictions and space for children

The official plan established the full closure of the Popular Sur Artime stand and the reduction of 2,500 seats in the Popular Norte Willington stand. In return, the Gasparini stand will be reserved exclusively for children up to 12 years old from clubs and social organizations.
