Curious ban in European Championship stadiums: you can’t bring fruit

Among those prohibited are European Cup For the tournament matches that start tomorrow, the items, food and drinks that spectators can bring into the stadiums are remarkable. Especially because of the regulations UEFA for the contest it absolutely prohibits the introduction of any kind of food. Even when it comes to something as healthy as fruit.

The text literally states that the entry of “liquids (beverages, electronic cigarette refills, etc.) and any kind of food, including fruit, such as apples, bananas, oranges, etc., but not food required for medical reasons, which must be notified to the Stadium Authority in advance.”

Behind this ban, to the point of even affecting something as healthy as fruit, seems to be the intention of the organization to encourage consumption in the bars that can be found in all stadiums in Germany.

Any type of glass is also prohibited, even those intended for babies and children: “Glass containers, bottles (including pet and children), cups, jugs, cans or other items made of glass or other fragile, breakable or hard materials.

Logically, it also prohibits “alcohol, narcotics or any type of illicit drug.” And it also prohibits any kind of “Discriminatory, racist, xenophobic, politically radical, national socialist, religious or political propaganda, material glorifying violence and related items, such as clothing, posters, banners, etc.”
