Paris: Most sports events in France can have a maximum of 5,000 spectators from July 11, the government said on Saturday.
Authorities will decide next month whether a further easing of the coronavirus restrictions can take place in the second half of August.
The French Football League said recently that it wanted to start the new season on August 22 and 23.
The 2019-20 season was scrapped at the end of April because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
