(asked on 27th February 2023) - View Source
Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has had recent discussions with UEFA on implementing the recommendations of the independent review of the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final for future fixtures.
Answered by
Stuart Andrew
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
The Government has always been clear that an independent investigation was needed to establish what happened on the night of the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final.
In consultation with the Football Association, the Government is in touch with UEFA to understand how it intends to respond to the review and press for timely action in responding to the specific recommendations which have been set out in the report. We will reflect on the lessons which can be learned from the investigation to inform planning for the UEFA Champions League Final in 2024 at Wembley, as well as our UK and Ireland bid to host EURO 2028.
The Secretary of State will be meeting the French Sports Minister in the coming weeks to discuss the French Government’s response to the independent review further, alongside other issues.
