Overview
- Around 60 protesters gathered at Piccadilly Circus, waving Palestinian flags and accusing UEFA of complicity while calling to ban Israel from competitions.
- Chants of “blood on your hands” and “kick Israel out” were heard outside the venue, and guests inside struggled to hear presentations, though the event went ahead.
- UEFA confirmed Euro 2028 will run from June 9 to July 9, with Cardiff’s Principality Stadium to open the tournament and Wembley to stage both semi-finals and the final.
- The final was set for a 5pm kickoff and organisers said three million tickets will be available, with pricing details yet to be announced.
- If England qualify directly, they would open at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium before two group matches at Wembley, with a potential Group B win sending them to St James’ Park.
