Grant Shapps, British Transport Minister said on Friday that the UK will not allow entry to Italians to watch football final match of Euro-2020 tournament.
Final match of Euro-2020 will be held in London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday (July 11). However, British government’s decision of not allowing Italian soccer ball fans to visit London to watch match seems to be disappointing for them.
England face Italy on Sunday in the final at London’s Wembley Stadium, where crowds of around 60,000 people are expected but few of them will be Italians as Britain’s travel rules require arrivals from there to quarantine for 10 days.
Asked on Friday what he would say to Italian fans trying to get to the game, Shapps said: “‘Don’t’ is the answer to that simple question.” “If we detect people are coming in just for the football, they won’t be allowed in and in fact, lots of charter flights and direct flights have been cancelled on that basis,” he said.
