Euro 2020, Uefa: stop beer in conference in front of Muslim players

No more bottles of beer in front of Muslim players at a press conference during the European football championship. This was decided by UEFA after what happened with Paul Pogba, the French midfielder, who at a conference removed a bottle of beer from the table and hid it. The teams, reports the Telegraph, will have to report in advance if the players and managers who will speak at the conference are against having a bottle of beer in front of them for religious reasons. In recent days, Uefa had warned the Federations that it would start to fine them if there were other episodes like the one that happened with the French. But obviously, writes the ‘Telegraph’, he wanted in this way to distinguish those who remove bottles for religious reasons and those who instead do so for reasons related to proper nutrition.
