UEFA has denied banning rainbow flags from the Euro 2020 fanzone and stadium in Budapest. There have been reports of supporters in the Hungarian capital for the Holland v Czech Republic last-16 clash having flags confiscated by security staff. European governing body UEFA insists this is not because they have banned the internationally-recognised symbol of LGBT pride at venues. Security at the fan zone in Budapest prevented supporters of 🇳🇱 from entering the area with 🌈 flags. It says flags are also welcome at fanzones too but the control for such areas is managed by “local authorities”.
