Soccer Football - Euro 2020 - France Training - Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany - June 14, 2021 General view of the inside the stadium during training REUTERS/Kai PfaffenbachMANCHESTER, England: UEFA have turned down a request from the mayor of Munich for the city's stadium to be lit up in rainbow colours for Wednesday's Euro 2020 match between Germany and Hungary.

Munich mayor Dieter Reiter had said he wanted to light up the stadium in the colours in protest against a new law in Hungary that bans the dissemination of content in schools deemed to promote homosexuality and gender change.The stadium, known as the Allianz Arena, home to Bayern Munich, is configured to allow the entire external area and roofing to be lit up in various colours."UEFA, through its statutes, is a politically and religiously neutral organisation.

"UEFA has nevertheless proposed to the city of Munich to illuminate the stadium with the rainbow colours on either 28 June – the Christopher Street Liberation Day - or between 3 and 9 July which is the Christopher Street Day week in Munich."Christopher Street Day events are held in memory of an uprising by homosexuals in New York in 1969.
