Limiting Virus Transmission During a Sporting Mega Event, 2021-2022

The EURO 2020 football tournament, took place across various European cities in June and July 2021, the first Sporting Mega Event (SME) to take place since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. SMEs present a challenge to public health and Governments as the circulation of athletes and supporters poses issues for different risk environments. Therefore, it is imperative that we analyse, inform and evaluate the COVID-19 mitigation measures and related behaviours around large sporting events. The collection includes survey data from online survey of those who attended UK-based EURO 2020 matches, interview transcripts with key stakeholders from EURO 2020 host cities and observation data from UK-based EURO 2020 matches.
