What has been said?
In a statement released on Monday afternoon, the FA said: “We will carry out a full review and investigation into the events that took place at Wembley Stadium before and during the UEFA Euro 2020 Final. This will be done in collaboration with the Police, the Greater London Authority, the Safety Advisory Group and the tournament delivery stakeholders.
“Security and stewarding numbers for the UEFA Euro 2020 Final exceeded the requirements for the match and were greater than any other previous event at Wembley Stadium.
“However, the behaviour of the people who illegally forced their way into the stadium was unacceptable, dangerous and showed total disregard for the safety and security protocols in place.
“No steward or security staff should be subjected to this type of behaviour and we thank them for their support on the night. We also apologise to anyone at the match whose experience was affected by this unprecedented level of public disorder.
“We will continue to work with the relevant authorities to identify and take action against these people where possible.”
What happened?
Prior to kick-off, videos showed fans gaining entry through force into Wembley.
Further videos then showed fans fighting stewards and each other, before and during the match. There also appeared to be overcrowding on the concourses and the stadium bowl.
Roughly 65,000 tickets were sold for a reduced-capacity attendance at Wembley, but it is clear that more than that number gained entry to the stadium.
