the events surrounding the UEFA Euro 2020 Final.</p><p>Although this review was commissioned
by and reported to the English Football Association, Her Majesty’s Government was
referred to in four of the recommendations and we have been undertaking work to take
these forward.</p><p>This includes work on extending football banning orders to cover
offences of the selling and taking of Class A drugs at football games (under the Police,

on the other issues raised in the review, on stewarding events, clarifying the responsibility
of Zone Ex for major events, and ensuring the categorisation of matches is appropriate.</p><p>
