The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has blocked all tickets sold to English fans for the UEFA European Football Championship quarterfinal match to be held in Rome between England and Ukraine on the evening of 3 July.

The move is aimed at preventing Three Lions fans from entering Italy in violation of quarantine rules, the Italian Interior Ministry reported on Thursday, July 1..

In addition, following an appeal from the Italian authorities to UEFA, ticket sales for this match have been discontinued to those who have been in the UK within the last 14 days..

These steps are related to the fact that Italy has a five-day quarantine for those entering the country from the UK due to the spread of the delta coronavirus there, and now it is no longer possible to meet this deadline to get to the Euro 2020 quarterfinal game.

On June 29, England reached the European Championship playoffs, beating Germany 2-0. On the same day, after the victory over Sweden, the Ukrainian team reached the quarter of the European Championship for the first time in history.. She managed to do it from third place in the group thanks to a better goal difference than the other two teams, who also ended up third in their quartets with three points..
