Euro 2020: UEFA facing criticism over its position on rainbow colors ahead of Germany vs. Hungary match
CNN
European football governing body UEFA has found itself on the defensive over diversity ahead of the Euro 2020 match between Germany and Hungary on Wednesday.
It started with a proposal by the Munich city council to illuminate the Allianz Arena in rainbow colors for the game -- a response to an anti-LGBTQ law passed by the Hungarian parliament last week. UEFA declined the request, citing its "political context." But opposition to that decision has continued to grow over the past 24 hours.More Related News
