Question
To ask the Scottish Government what planning it has carried out to allow spectators to safely attend Hampden for the 2021 UEFA Euro finals.
Answer
The Scottish Government is working closely with our event partners, the Scottish FA, Glasgow City Council, Police Scotland and EventScotland, on preparation for the UEFA EURO 2020 matches at Hampden in June and July 2021. In response to the Covid situation we are considering a range of planning scenarios for the tournament, including spectator attendance at the stadium. It is currently too early to say what will be permitted in terms of spectator attendance, however, the Scottish Government is doing all we can to ensure fans can safely attend sporting events going forward, including EURO 2020.
