Rejected petition Prevent Euro 2020 football tournament from being held entirely in the UK

Any proposal by UEFA to host all Euro 2020 matches in the UK should be rejected. This goes against all efforts to control Covid 19 virus and opens the door to further increase in infections.

More details

The GOVERNMENT should reject completely any reported plans put forward by UEFA (and Oliver Dowden, Culture Secretary) to host virtually all the final here in Uk. In my opinion this is sheer lunacy and invites a reversal of the success currently achieved in stemming the spread of COVID 19.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This would be a decision for the footballing authorities.

We could accept a petition calling for the UK not to host any international sporting events during 2021, if that's what you'd like to see happen.

This petition was briefly opened in error.
