Alcohol Limits In Rome For Cl Final
Local authorities in Rome have ordered alcohol restrictions in the city and on public transport to help curb trouble at this week’s UEFA Champions League final.
Manchester United will play Barcelona in the showpiece on Wednesday with more than 67,000 fans expected in the Italian capital.
The sale of alcohol in glass containers around the stadium will not be allowed from 5pm on Tuesday to 6am Thursday.
Forged tickets are also a concern, as about 5,000 fans without tickets are likely to be in and around the city. Police confirmed that they had confiscated a number of counterfeit tickets.
The sale of any ‘takeaway’ alcohol is also banned in the zones around the stadium, while the restrictions also apply to all Rome metro and train stations, as well as the port of Civitavecchia.
