Argentina caps stadium capacity for Bolivia match due to FIFA sanctions

Summary

Córdoba’s Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium will operate at 50% capacity for the Argentina vs. Bolivia match on September 30. FIFA imposed this sanction following incidents of racist and discriminatory behavior from Argentine fans during previous World Cup matches. The Popular Sur Artime stand will be completely closed, while 2,500 seats in the Popular Norte Willington stand will be reduced. Special arrangements will designate the Gasparini stand for children up to 12 years old from clubs and social organizations.
