More than 60,000 fans will be allowed to attend the semi-finals and final of Euro 2020 at Wembley, the British government announced on Tuesday.
The matches will see the largest crowds assembled at a sporting event in Britain in more than 15 months. Numbers have been strictly limited due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“The finals promise to be an unforgettable moment in our national recovery from the pandemic,” said culture and sport secretary Oliver Dowden.
All ticket holders at Wembley will need to follow a number of strict entry requirements, including having a negative Covid-19 test or proof of full vaccination.
There has been no announcement on the outcome of talks between the government, the Football Association and European football’s governing body UEFA over a solution to allow up to 2,500 VIPs to attend the final on July 11 but a deal now appears more likely.
