The NI Sports Forum welcomes today’s NI Executive announcement that the cap of 500 people attending outdoor events will be removed from 5pm on Friday 2nd July.
Outdoor gatherings including sporting events now must put in place a robust risk assessment to ensure the safety of those involved, whether they be spectators or participants.
The increase of participation and spectator numbers is a very positive development and it is vitally important that the sports sector continues to comply with all guidance. We urge participants and spectators to follow all guidance from sports organisations and facility operators in the weeks ahead.
