It’s official, there will be no foreign spectators at the Tokyo Games

The decision was taken on Saturday during an online meeting involving the five Games stakeholders: the organizing committee, the Japanese government, the city of Tokyo and the International Olympic and Paralympic Committees. This is the first time that foreign spectators have been banned from entering the host country at Games time.

Another decision is expected to be made in April, or even later, on the gauge of Olympic venues for the public residing in Japan.

The Tokyo Games have been postponed for a year because of the health situation.
