Abstract
- A new documentary titled "The Final: Attack on Wembley" revisits the chaotic events that unfolded during England's appearance in the UEFA European Football Championship final against Italy in July 2021. The match, which took place at Wembley Stadium, was marred by thousands of drunken and drug-addled fans storming the stadium. The documentary explores the disorder and violence that occurred, highlighting the breaching of the stadium and the dangerous situations that unfolded. The Casey report, which investigated the events, revealed the potential for fatalities and life-changing injuries. The documentary also addresses the racist abuse that followed the match, targeting the three Black England players who missed penalties in the shootout. Despite this incident, subsequent events, such as the women's England team winning the Euros and Australia co-hosting the Women's World Cup, have demonstrated peaceful and non-violent celebrations.
