JAKARTA - The British Parliament asked the local football association, the FA, to explain the issue of the chaos that occurred around the Euro 2020 final match at Wembley, London, Sunday, July 11.

The fans, most of whom spent hours drinking alcohol, engaged in chaotic behavior outside the stadium before the start of the final.

Later a group of people without tickets broke through security protocol, attacked officers and broke into the Wembley perimeter area before the match that ended in Italy's victory over England was decided on penalties.

British police said 19 of its personnel were injured while 86 people had been arrested, 53 of them in the vicinity of Wembley.

UEFA has started a disciplinary investigation into the FA regarding the incident, which includes the incident of a fan breaking into the pitch in the middle of the match.

The chairman of the UK parliament's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Commission, Julian Knight, has written an official letter to FA Chief Executive Mark Bullingham asking for an explanation of the events.

"I am shocked and appalled by the violence that took place at Wembley during the final. This culturally significant event should inspire future generations, and not leave reports of children stricken with fear," Knight said.

"We are concerned whether the preparations for organizing the event are sufficient and will lead to an immediate response from the FA. Given the situation, what plans are made if someone 'attack' the stadium?

"We and the public deserve to know what went wrong and how the FA plans to ensure the safety of many people in the future."

The commission asked the FA to provide details by July 20 regarding preparations in terms of security, the number of people attempting to break into the stadium, and what measures and training were provided to escort officers.
