Up to 1,000 Italian fans are expected to attend Sunday’s Euro 2020 final at Wembley between Italy and England.
But with 65,000 people expected to attend the final, there are questions about the Covid restrictions in place.
The fans will be flying into London after British authorities agreed with UEFA that the limited number of supporters can fly from Italy to attend the game at Wembley without self-isolating.
This comes after many England fans were forced to give up their tickets for the quarter-final against Ukraine in Rome when the Italian government insisted on maintaining strict quarantine rules.
However, there will be rules in place, including that Italian fans must only be in the country for 12 hours and stay in a secure bubble by using charter flights as well as using dedicated transport to get to and from the airport and the stadium.
The Italian Football Federation has organised to transport fans and Wembley has sectioned off special seats to keep them separated.
They must have also tested negative for Covid before entering the UK and they will have to self-isolate for five days on return to Italy.
The deal was struck earlier this week.
