Daily Times
Friday 18th June 2021
Uefa have threatened to relocate the Euro 2020 final to Hungary this summer
This will happen unless the UK Government provides a quarantine exemption
Ministers are discussing a proposal to exempt 2,500 officials from isolating
But move would be likely to spark a furious public backlash amid holiday row
Cabinet ministers are set to bow to Uefa demands to waive quarantine restrictions for thousands of VIPs after the football governing body threatened to otherwise move the Euro 2020 final from Wembley to Hungary.
The Government is said to be discussing a proposal to exempt 2,500 designated VIPs including Uefa and Fifa officials, politicians, sponsors and broadcasters from having to self-isolate on arrival into England.
Uefa officials have been threatening to move the semi-finals and final will be moved to Budapest, which will have no border restrictions for travel from next week, if they do not ease the rules for VIPs, the Times reports.
Its president Aleksander Ceferin told the Government last week the UK's border restrictions were too strict compared with those in the EU and that other cities were willing and able to host matches due to be played at Wembley.
But in a move likely to spark a fierce backlash among the British public, the VIPs attending the games at Wembley Stadium would not have to abide by travel quarantine rules imposed on ordinary travellers.
They would be allowed to attend games during the knock-out phase of the tournament as well as training sessions and meetings with the Government. Wembley will be at 50 per cent of its 90,000 capacity for the semi-finals on July 6 and 7, as well the final on July 11.

Another example of the "new normal" we can all look forward to in the future.
If you've got money or power you can do what the f**k you want.
If you don't have either you do what the f**k you're told to do.

But what davids says above is spot on, shows there are different rules for the powerful elite.
When the Super League was created, Ceferin made a big deal about it being a power grab by the rich elite clubs. He was right, but this is yet another example that he and UEFA are no different.

So the most devastating virus in living memory isn’t a problem when it comes to VIPs ? And it isn’t a Problem to UEFA either. Some games it is a full house others it’s only a third full.
So is this whole saga over the last 14 months BS or not ? Now don’t forget stay in wear your masks have your vaccinations.![]()

I agree with you, it shouldn't be one rule for UEFA and their VIPs but a different rule for us.

How can the gvmnt say it's ok for foreign VIP people to come Into this country without isolating but it's own citizens are forced to isolate ? The backlash will be to much for boris to allow it to happen

the differences in attendances is because its taking part in various countries , all with their own rules ...the reason this is even a topic is because as it stands the 10 day isolation will make it impossible for foreign VIPs and fans to attend the games.. hence UEFA asking again before moving it to a more hospitable country... one that does not test insane amounts of people

Testing as nothing to do with it surely the problem is simply the quarantine time? Dont forget UEFA cup final was switched because of quarantine restrictions in original country Wembley was preferred alternative but boris wouldnt lift restrictions so Portugal got game insteadv as no restrictions there.. but I font expect boris to allow them in ..

Are you kidding me? This nation has proved time and time again that it's willing to bend over and take whatever the f**k is served up to them.
Boris just let 20,000 Indians into the UK during a 3 weeks period and now 90% of COVID in the UK is the indian variant. Now we have to pay the price with a further 4 weeks and what's anyone done? f**k all that's what.
