England football fans are being told not to travel to Italy to watch their side face Ukraine in the Euros quarter final on Saturday, since Italy’s Covid rules mean they’d have to quarantine and miss the match. Because of this, the FA – which has been allocated 2,560 tickets for the match – has decided not to sell tickets the normal way, and instead is in talks with Uefa to try to sell them to English nationals living in Italy. The FA were keen to have the maximum number of England fans, our sport reporter said. Meanwhile, new figures for Scotland show nearly 2,000 Covid cases have been linked to people watching football. Two thirds of cases were fans who travelled to London for Scotland’s game with England.
