On July 11, thousands of ticketless supporters stormed the gates of Wembley, managing to enter the stadium and sit on seats reserved for spectators with tickets, creating clashes.

The English Football Association (FA) has opened an independent investigation into the entry of supporters without tickets.
She finds herself the target of disciplinary proceedings by UEFA for "lack of order or discipline on the part of her supporters".
