Tokyo will host an international gymnastics tournament on November 8, an event which could serve as a trial run for next year's rearranged Olympic Games.
The event will feature 32 athletes from Japan, China, Russia and the United States.
A maximum of 2,000 fans would be allowed to attend the one-day event at Yoyogi National Gymnasium, the venue for the handball tournament at the Games, which was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Japan Gymnastics Association (JGA), all gymnasts arriving from overseas will have to take a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test within 72 hours prior to their departure for Japan.
Japan's 14-day quarantine period would be waived but they would be tested each day they are in Japan, it added.

Meanwhile, International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach on Monday said that the Tokyo Olympic Games will be held under any circumstances the world will face next summer.
"I am sure the question today in your mind is: will the athletes make their Olympic dream come true in 10 months from now? In this regard, I can reassure you that we are working at full speed with our Japanese partners and friends to ensure safe Olympic Games that are fit for the post-corona world."
"We are focused on developing a tool box of COVID countermeasures for every possible scenario," he said, adding that "encouraging development of rapid testing and vaccines give us good reason for cautious optimism."
