Saudi Arabia's sports fans will be allowed to attend full-capacity events at all stadiums and other sports facilities starting today, the country's ministry of sports announced in a statement.

Stadiums and other sports facilities will limit entry to fans who have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine approved by the kingdom, the ministry said.

On Friday, the interior ministry said Saudi Arabia would ease Covid-19 curbs beginning on Sunday in response to a sharp drop in the daily number of infections and what it characterised as a considerable development in vaccinations.
