Interestingly, according to a statement by Alianza FC, after the semi-final of the first leg against Club Deportivo FAS, the number of tickets does not match the 30 percent that Fesfut allowed them themselves. Compared to the capacity that Alianza had for his counter in the match against the tigrillos, 45 percent of the available stands are used.
“Due to the pandemic and to protect the health of our fans, Alianza FC is enforcing biosecurity protocols in every home game, provided by the Football Association under the Ministry of Health guidelines, including: The allowed percentage of 30% (9,750 fans) of the total capacity of the Cuscatlán Stadium was strictly adhered to, with a capacity of 32,425Alianza said in a press release that 8,487 people were present.

As for how to ensure that this capacity is met at Cuscatlán Stadium, the Secretary of the First Division has already confirmed the presence of two Biosafety Commissioners, a figure that was no longer valid during the elimination phase, arguing the lack of regulations for its implementation.
“The Fesfut will have two commissioners to adhere to the protocols and it will largely depend on those present that the final takes place with all reality, so as not to paralyze or suspend a final due to the protocol problem”, he indicated.
