Wembley Stadium could be stripped of the Euro 2020 final and semifinals, with the fixtures moved to Hungarian capital Budapest, if the United Kingdom government fails to allow quarantine exemptions for visiting supporters and UEFA guests to attend the games, sources have told ESPN. As first reported by The Times, UK ministers are discussing a proposal to exempt UEFA officials, VIPs and sponsors, and international broadcasters, from the requirement to quarantine for 10 days -- visitors can self-release after five days with a negative COVID-19 test -- on arrival in the UK. |  |

Public health should come before any other concerns and all thi is to them is money, they want to be able to please broadcasters and corporate guests. It's irresponsible. I hope the rules are important enough to stand if the data says they should stand. |  |

Public health has to come first. Gutted though, was looking forward to Balo picking up the trophy at the home of English football after putting the 3 Lions to the sword. |  |

But if you can sit in a jammed packed Wimbledon Centre Court all day then clearly you can sit in a half or full Wembley for 2-3hrs. |  | |  |

Yeah, it's not like the new delta variant has increased by 80% in a week is it? I mean, if that were to happen..... |  |

| Change Covid rules or lose the euros on 16:17 - Jun 18 with 579 views | Badlands | UEFA are right. But let's see how hypocritical these tories and their cronies are. Ascot went ahead with thousands crowded together. India, despite having far higher levels than Bangladesh and Pakistan, was not on a restricted list until after a piddling carry over trade deal as agreed. And of course we'll get the xenophobes claiming it’s the EU punishing 'us'. As far as football is concerned England is in all senses a foreign country so **** 'em. |  |

Well then you haven't read my answer correctly. It's clearly more dangerous to sit all day at Wimbledon than to sit in a half full or full Wembley for a couple of hours. Ergo either neither is safe or both are.... |  | |  |

The thing is it isn't safer but we have extremely stupid politicians! Wimbledon all day, not safe. Ascot, not safe. We know Cheltenham was a superspreader event. We're going to be up schit street again soon. |  |

It’s the Dom effect, but on a much larger scale. |  | |  |

Lots of point missing in these responses. Unlike Wimbledon and Ascot ( which I personally believe should not have had large crowds) the issue here is 10s of thousands travelling into the UK without adequate checks. We have had different rules within the UK, they had different rules with in England, they even had different rules for parts of larger cities in England. Of course there can be different standards and there should be. The reason the UK was so badly hit was in large part down to tory dithering and delaying in closing borders. Johnson will do whatever is popular and expedient. TBH I can’t understand why so many are getting so arsy about England losing a football venue. |  |
