THE current Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) campaign will be open to spectators starting from the fourth stage in the regular season with up to 50 percent of the venue’s capacity, the league’s governing body announced Monday.

This includes a part of the fourth stage matches starting today, and all playoff matches staged in Zhuji, East China’s Zhejiang Province.

The just-concluded CBA All-Star Weekend in Qingdao, East China’s Shandong Province, witnessed a return of fans to the arena.

Prior to the All-Star Weekend, the league has concluded the first three phases in Zhuji. The newly announced measure of bringing spectators back is in accordance with those stipulations laid out by China’s General Administration of Sport.

The regular season is being held in two venues in Zhuji, one located in Jiyang College of Zhejiang A&F University, and the other in Hailiang Education Park.

According to the plan, fans are allowed to enter the Jiyang College venue, which has a capacity of around 4,000 seats, in specific time slots during the fourth stage, namely evening sessions from Monday to Friday and afternoon and evening sessions at weekends.

All playoff matches will be open to the public.(Xinhua)
