England fans will be restricted to low-alcohol beer, specifically German 'shandy', during their EURO 2024 opening match against Serbia, a decision made to prevent potential fan violence. This game will be the only one in the tournament with such a restriction. Police Minister Chris Philp has criticized the decision, calling it discriminatory and arguing that England fans are being unfairly targeted. The match, set to take place on Sunday, has raised concerns about potential disruptions from Serbian hooligans.
