• temporary toilets will be sufficient agree with the No spectators expected, which will existing health standards. In the absence of specific regulations will be taken as a reference for the No toilets to anticipate the standard NIDE PP-Pistas Small.




The spaces for viewers consisting of permanent stands taken into consideration what indicated in the same paragraph of the standard NIDE VOL-Voleibol.




In high-level international competitions requires a sufficient number of seats as follows:




• 8,000 spectators spaces for the world championship Vóleyplayafivb.
