MADRID (Reuters) - Fans will be allowed in August to attend sports events in Spain, with a 40% maximum occupancy rate in open-air stadiums and 30% in indoor facilities, Spain's health minister said on Wednesday in a relief to clubs keen to recover a key source of income.

The cap will be effective between Aug. 13, when the soccer league's season starts, and the end of August, when the central and regional governments will discuss again the issue, meaning the occupancy rate could vary, health minister Carolina Darias told reporters after holding talks with the country's regions.
