UK citizens returning from ‘red list’ countries are required
to quarantine at a Government-approved hotel for 10 days.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Transport
Secretary Grant Shapps said fans should not travel and confirmed the Football
Association has approached UEFA over whether the match could be moved to
England.
“I’m afraid we are having to put Turkey on the red list.
This will have a number of ramifications. First of all, it does mean with
regards to the Champions League, fans should not travel to Turkey,” Shapps said
during the press conference.
“The FA are in discussions with UEFA on this. We are very
open to hosting the final but it is ultimately a decision for UEFA.
“Of course the UK has already got a successful track record
of football matches with spectators, so we are well placed to do it.
“We are very open to it, but it is, in the end, a decision
for UEFA to make, but given there are two English clubs in that final, we look
forward to what they have to say,” he said.
