Sky Sports:

The Tartan Army will be banned from celebrating together at the Euros - after UEFA ruled fans must sit alone with a four seat gap to the next person.

All fans attending the Euros will separated from each other by the four seat gap on orders from UEFA.

The Uk will come under UEFA law during the Euros, so the same rules will apply for the seven games at Wembley for the 94,000 capacity.

Football in England:


Fans are set to return to sporting events from Monday, May 17, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson outlined his road map for easing coronavirus lockdown restrictions.

Supporters have been prevented from attending sporting venues across England since the scrapping of the tier system in December.

Thursday 6th May 2021

However, the Prime Minister has now revealed plans in the House of Commons to ease restrictions step-by-step across the whole country simultaneously instead of on a regional basis.



From May 17, indoor events will be capped at 50 per cent capacity or 1,000, whichever is lower, and for outdoor events this will be 50 per cent capacity or 4,000, whichever is lower.

Larger outdoor seated venues such as football stadiums will be allowed up to 10,000 people or be a quarter full, whichever is lower.




With Manchester City top of the league, 10 points clear of second-placed Manchester United, supporters could see Pep Guardiola's side lift the Premier League trophy against Everton at the Etihad.

Although the FA Cup final is set to be played on Saturday, May 15 - two days before the initial plans to allow fans to return, it could be used as a test event.

Which clubs will be at Wembley?

Tottenham face Manchester City in the 2021 Carabao Cup final on April 25

Eight teams are left in the FA Cup. The quarter-finals will see Leicester vs Manchester United, Chelsea vs Sheffield United, Bournemouth vs Southampton and Everton vs Manchester City.

Sky Sports News reported last week the FA and EFL were working with the Government to get fans inside Wembley for the two showpiece finals of the FA and Carabao Cups.

It is hoped to have one-third of Wembley full of spectators by the time the finals are played, in late April and mid-May, providing it is safe to do so.

The EFL has already moved the Carabao Cup final from February 28 to April 25 to give it the best chance of having supporters inside Wembley.

Both finals have been identified as key milestones for the wider game, and - crucially - ahead of this summer's Euros.


An EFL spokesperson said: "Following a successful fan pilot programme in the Autumn, the EFL and member clubs have shown test events for fans can be safely delivered with the appropriate measures in place.

"With the Carabao Cup Final taking place on 25 April and the culmination of the regular EFL season on 8/9 May, we look forward to engaging with the Government about its pilot programme and will be working to welcome as many fans as possible to the Sky Bet Play-Off Finals which will conclude the 2020-21 season on the Spring Bank Holiday weekend."

With Wembley set to host seven matches at this summer's delayed Euro 2020, including all three of England's group games, a last-16 clash, both semi-finals and the final, Monday's announcement is seen as a positive step for fans to attend

Those sitting closest to Dai Hunt have asked if this can be increased to 200 seats apart.
