The players of Euro 2020 will have to stop moving the bottles with drinks to the sponsors during their press conferences, otherwise they will be subject to fines, UEFA threatened.

Cristiano Ronaldo set the trend by moving two bottles of Coca-Cola during a press conference in Portugal, advising everyone in the room to drink water instead of a fizzy drink.

His example was followed by Paul Pogba, who hid a bottle of non-alcoholic Heineken, which is also among the big sponsors of Euro 2020. Manuel Locatelli also did not like cars and moved them after scoring two goals in the victory with 3 : 0 against Switzerland in the second round of the group stage.

However, UEFA reacted and have already instructed the teams to restrain their players, otherwise financial sanctions will follow.

“This is important because the revenue from sponsors is important for the tournament and for football in Europe,” said Euro 2020 director Martin Cullen.

We would never fine a player directly, but we will do so through fines from UEFA to the respective federation. Let’s see then whether the given football player will continue with these actions. But we would never fine the player directly. “
