Berlin, Jun 23 (EFE/EPA).- The Olympic Stadium in Berlin was illuminated Wednesday night with the colors of the LGTBIQ flag on the occasion of the UEFA EURO 2020 group F preliminary round soccer match between Germany and Hungary in Munich. UEFA on Tuesday rejected a request from the city of Munich to illuminate the Allianz Arena in rainbow colors for that match. The move was seen as a protest against a new law in Hungary that bans anyone under 18 from sharing content, which the government believes promotes homosexuality or gender change. Several sports stadiums in Germany were illuminated with the colors of the LGTBIQ flag as a gesture of solidarity. (Camera: CLEMENS BILAN).
