LONDON, July 2 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris
Johnson said on Friday he did not plan to order a reduction in
crowds attending the remaining Euro 2000 tournament soccer
matches due to take place in London's Wembley Stadium.
Crowd capacity at Wembley Stadium will be increased to more
than 60,000 fans for the semi-finals and final of Euro 2020
under a pilot scheme announced last week.
"Of course we'll follow the scientific guidance and the
advice if we receive any such suggestion," Johnson said in
response to a question at a news conference, alongside German
Chancellor Angela Merkel who said she was worried about UEFA's
decision to let more people into stadiums.
"But at the moment...the position is very clear in the UK,
which is that we have certain events which we can put on in a
very careful and controlled manner with testing of everybody who
goes there."
