The Government recognises the severe impact the pandemic has had on supply chain businesses for the events sector. Supply chain organisations were eligible for - and many were successful in securing from - the first and second rounds of Culture Recovery Funding. They are recognised as a critical part of the sector.<\/p>
An announcement on the additional £300 million provided to the Culture Recovery Fund announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the recent Budget will be made in due course.<\/p>

The department continues to meet with the football authorities, including The Football Association (FA), on a range of matters including the return of spectators.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> Coronavirus has presented many challenges for sport, and the sector\u2019s success thus far at maintaining their competitive programmes should be commended. The FA is responsible for the scheduling of its competitions, including Non-league Finals Day, as well as preparations for the return of spectators.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> Football is clearly not the same without fans, which is why we will look to get spectators back to outdoor stadiums in a safe and manageable way. We will continue to engage with the sector as we progress along the Roadmap, and look forward to welcoming spectators back to stadia across the country from step 3 of the Roadmap.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p>"}

As part of the wide scope of that Review, we have called for evidence on the benefits or harms of allowing gambling operators to advertise.
