Security measures will be heightened at the European Championship to prevent fans from accessing players on the field, following an incident where at least six fans attempted to take selfies with Cristiano Ronaldo. UEFA announced on Sunday that additional safety protocols will be implemented across the 10 stadiums in Germany to address this issue. The specific details of the enhanced plan were not disclosed, but intruders who breach security will face criminal prosecution.
UEFA emphasized that any unauthorized entry onto the pitch violates stadium regulations and will result in immediate expulsion, a ban from all tournament matches, and the initiation of formal criminal charges for trespassing. The recent incident occurred during Portugal's 3-0 victory over Turkey, where four fans managed to approach Ronaldo on the field, with more attempts made after the match concluded in Dortmund.
