<p>MUNICH &mdash; The Allianz Arena in Munich will fill about 20% of its capacity for games during the European Championship, the state government for Bavaria said Friday.</p>
<p>The 20% limit means about 14,000 fans will be able attend Euro 2020 matches in the 75,000-seat stadium.</p>
<p>“The European soccer championship is a special situation,” Bavaria governor Markus Söder said, adding the games would be a “pilot and test project for further professional sports in Germany.”</p>
<p>Söder said spectators would need masks, that there may be a need for coronavirus testing, and that the stadium would be organized to prevent crowds from forming when fans are entering and leaving.</p>
<p>German officials had previously refused to guarantee that fans would be allowed in for the three group games and one quarterfinal game in Munich. That led to tension with UEFA.</p>
<p>A falling coronavirus infection rate across Germany led to a limited return of fans at some Bundesliga games last month for the first time this year, though Bayern Munich was only allowed 250 spectators.</p>
<p>Germany is at home for all three of the group games, hosting France on June 15, Portugal on June 19 and Hungary on June 23.</p>
