UEFA says it supports the display of Pride flags inside or outside a Budapest stadium for Sunday’s Netherlands versus Czech Republic clash, but that it doesn’t control separate fan zones at the Euro 2020 tournament.
The soccer body “would very much welcome any such symbol into the fan zone,” it said in a statement to Bloomberg News, adding that such areas come “under the responsibility of the local authorities.”
