The UEFA will investigate the \u2018potential discrimination incidents,\u2019 as the governing body of European football started on Friday at the 2-2 draw in Germany with Hungary during the European Championship.<\/p>\n
UEFA did not give details of the game incidents that took place on Wednesday in Munich.<\/p>\n
UEFA confirmed in a statement that ethics and the disciplinary inspector had been appointed to investigate this case.<\/p>\n
Germany settled the last 16 times with England after the four-time world champion was settled with a late goal by Leon Goretzka, while Hungarians were knocked out.<\/p>\n
Before kickoff, a protestor waving the rainbow flag invaded the pitch, while fans carried similar banners outside and inside the stadium to show their support for LGBTQ rights.<\/p>\n
This was following UEFA rejection, in protest of an anti-LGBTQ law in Hungary, of a petition by the Munich mayor to make the stadium lit with rainbow colors.<\/p>\n
Mayor Dieter Reiter wanted in Hungary to highlight the prohibition of school materials intended to promote homosexuality and gender change and limit the media\u2019s access to programs available for minors.<\/p>\n
The UEFA also began a survey in Budapest last weekend of the matches between Hungary and Portugal and France.<\/p>\n
The social media images showed \u201cAnti-LGBTQ\u201d banners in the opening match against Portugal in Budapest, including the Hungarian Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer abbreviations.<\/p>\n
Hungarian fans marched to the Puskas arena in the run-up to Hungary\u2019s match against France with a banner calling on the players to stop kneeling for racism to protest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
