A group of football fans tried to storm the final stadium in London on Sunday. According to Uefa, however, people only made it through outside fences and not inside.
According to English media reports, football fans tried to storm into Wembley Stadium ahead of the European Championship final in London. This was reported by several online portals on the Sunday before the final. According to a report by the portal “The Athletic”, hundreds could have passed the security forces. However, there is no evidence that they also got into the stadium. “Sky Sports News” spoke of up to 100 fans. In the meantime, however, the situation is under control.
Uefa confirmed that fans had come over the outer security fences. However, they would not have gained access to the interior of the stadium. The direction of the game is not in question.
Security guards followed the intruders
Videos could be seen as people allegedly ran up a staircase at the stadium and were followed by security personnel. Another video showed how several people broke through a blockade by security personnel and knocked over barriers in the process.
Hundreds of fans celebrated in front of Wembley Stadium hours before the final at 9 p.m. Supporters of the English team in particular danced and sang on Sunday afternoon in the immediate vicinity of the arena in north-west London, some of them set fire to Bengalos. As in the run-up to many other European Championship games in London, almost all of them wore no masks and kept no distance from one another. More than 60,000 spectators are said to be in the stadium for the game in the evening.
