If the gathering is large enough they can't stop it and will back down. See the yellow vests movement.

That only works for gatherings not associated with a legal entity.

For example a sports club ( football? ) can't ignore the rules or it will be fined / closed.

It depends. In France unoins will organize public gatherings and won't be fined or closed because they have real power to shut down a whole sector of the economy and the ability to negotiate with the government.
