Wembley, ok to 60 thousand spectators Gravina: “We only have 125 tickets”

A little more than a week after the victory against Austria, Italy is again expected, Tuesday evening, at Wembley, a temple of football – in Mancini’s opinion – where it is “a must to play well”, and where – again once – it will be up to Italians residing in the UK to support the Azzurri. Restrictions on international connections remain, with the 10-day quarantine obligation confirmed for those arriving from a European country, with the exception of Gibraltar and Iceland. Security measures taken by the British government for the sharp rise in infections due to the Delta variant. Nevertheless, as agreed with UEFA, the local authorities have decided to increase the number of spectators for the semi-final against Spain to over 60 thousand. Entrance to the stadium will be restricted to those who have double vaccinated (at least for two weeks) and to those in possession of the negative result of an antigen test, carried out in the 48 hours preceding the kick-off. Confirmed the obligation of the mask and the distance of at least one meter. Restrictive measures that the Italian delegation following the national team has to deal with. This was confirmed by the president of the FIGC, Gabriele Gravina: «We will have problems in bringing our fans to Wembley: we had 125 tickets available for the semifinal and 1000 for the final».
