2,500 foreign football VIPs and media set to be EXEMPT from quarantine and allowed to travel to the Euro 2020 final at Wembley with Government ‘close to a deal with UEFA’ that would allow 60,000 fans in after threat to move the game to Budapest
A deal is on the brink of being struck that would see Wembley host 60,000 people for the Euro 2020 final on July 11.
That’s according to The Telegraph, who say the government could agree terms with UEFA and make an announcement as promptly as Tuesday.
There will be around 2,500 foreign VIPS and media allowed into England for the showpiece event.
Primer Minister Boris Johnson admitted today that the Government would speak to Uefa and ‘see if we can make some sensible accommodations, but the priority obviously has to be public health’.
SNP MP Alyn Smith said the move was ‘deeply, deeply irresponsible’ and Tory Andrew Bridgen added: ‘When lockdown has been extended in the UK it’s a kick in the teeth to read that up to 2500 ‘VIPs’ may be allowed into the UK for the #EURO2020 final without quarantine restrictions. Especially when double vaccinated Brits can’t go on holiday!’
