German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas on Wednesday criticised UEFA's decision to block plans to light Munich's Allianz Arena stadium in rainbow colours for Germany's Euro 2020 match against Hungary. "It's true, the football pitch is not about politics," Maas wrote on Twitter, after the European football body blamed the "political context" for its decision. "It's about people, about fairness, about tolerance. That's why @UEFA is sending the wrong signal," he said. fec/hmn/wdb
