“No exemption from the current border entry restrictions was granted,” UEFA announced on Wednesday.
A spokeswoman for the Danish Ministry of Culture had confirmed that the travel restrictions apply to Russian fans due to the situation with COVID-19 pandemic.
Denmark’s current list of travel restrictions divides countries into colored categories, with Russia falling into an ‘orange’ group.
There are also varying conditions depending on whether visitors are from fellow EU countries or outside the bloc, and if, for example, travelers have received a COVID-19 vaccine which is among those approved by the EU (none of Russia’s three COVID-19 vaccines are on the EU-approved list).
Russia, in turn, will allow all foreign fans into the country for the seven EURO 2020 matches it is hosting in St. Petersburg, as long as visitors have match tickets, a FAN-ID and provide a negative COVID-19 test.
