UEFA denies Chelsea, Man City, and Rangers’ plea for entry into the Champions League.
Ibekimi Oriamaja Reports
The national anthem will not be played before Chelsea, Manchester City, or Rangers’ Champions League games on Wednesday night, per UEFA’s decision.
All three British clubs requested permission to play “God Save the King” from the European regulatory body.
But in order to preserve a “subdued mood” within stadiums, UEFA has rejected the plan.
The Champions League song will not be played in England or Scotland out of respect for the Queen, according to UEFA.
“According to a statement, “There will be no anthems sung, including the UEFA Champions League hymn, in order to maintain a consistent pre-match ceremonial with a somber tone and without any celebratory actions across all UK venues to pay respect, as we did last Thursday.
