What we're doing to keep you safe
Our main priority is to deliver a safe UEFA EURO 2020 for everyone, which is why we’re working with the local governments and health authorities to ensure our measures adhere to the public health guidance of the host country.
- A diligent cleaning regime will be reinforced. Highly frequented touchpoints such as door handles, handrails or counters will be disinfected regularly throughout the matchday. The entire stadium is cleaned on a regular basis before, during and after your visit.Over 800 hand sanitiser units across the stadium will make it easy for everyone to follow recommended hygiene practices.
- Cashless transactions - all venues will accept card payments, many via contactless payment, to further reduce shared contact.
- We’re implementing queuing management in front of lifts, concessions and other facilities. Clear floor markings help with direction and movement.
- Education of staff - our VW Mobility Makers and everyone else working at the venue will have received extensive training to ensure we can deliver a safe and comfortable event according to best practice and government guidelines. This also includes providing all workforce with the necessary protective equipment such as face masks and gloves as required.All mitigation measures will be promoted heavily throughout the stadium so that everyone is aware of the rules.
