The Summer Olympics were scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan in 2020, but the event was postponed to 2021 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Many other sporting events were also cancelled that year or played behind closed doors, while others were played with just a fraction of the usual attendance. Similarly, for the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo, international fans will not be allowed to attend in person.
During a survey conducted in May 2021 in the United States, a majority of respondents, 52 percent, stated that they agreed with Japan's decision to bar international fans from attending the games, while 30 percent of respondents did not agree.
