Football is arguably the biggest sport on the planet and as a result, several fans are heavily invested in the game. However, at the end of the day, it remains a sport, and things should never escalate to the level of physical harm. This situation arose after England lost the final of the Euros last year against Italy.
The match was held in Wembley, and there were several reports of violence occurring in and around the stadium after the match was over. It was a very unfortunate day for the sport of football and all fans gathered together to stand with those who were the victims of these attacks.

England’s Euro 2030 bid in danger
However, it seems that these incidents might have marred England’s chances of hosting the competition again in 2030. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin spoke about the incidents and said that the violence was unacceptable. He spoke about making football a source of inspiration and that night at Wembley was a blemish on the entire sport.
“We still have many problems to solve to make our sport a role model and a greater source of inspiration than it is today. The images of violence at Wembley stadium at last year’s Euro final are unacceptable,” Ceferin said.
