Sensible if the supporters are viewed as the least important
aspect.

Was never going to be in the UK as UEFA were insistent that
their bigwigs and sponsors were allowed in without quarantine.
Portugal must have agreed to that, but it would have been
political suicide for the UK government to agree.

Match officials, UEFA referee observer, UEFA match delegate,
UEFA safety officer, so required and not corporates, were not
allowed in without quarantine either. Personally I view them as
more important to the match going ahead.

UEFA gets all its money from corporates. They view the presence
of sponsors at its events to be as important as that of the
players and other participants.

More importantly probably, the football is just a sideshow for
the corporate entity, and I get that but it's not just them that
are affected by the UK government's refusal to allow exceptions.
There are also those that are actually vital to the sideshow
even going ahead affected by it.

So how will the fact that Portugal according to news this
morning may not to be open to UK visitors as from Monday 17th
but from potentially now the 30th May affect the final!!!

Only from red zone countries. Orsato refereed the semi-final at
Stamford Bridge, along with a Belgian delegate, and they didn't
have to quarantine as there is an exemption for professional
sports, just not for the red zone.
