Stop the UEFA champions League final being played in Turkey.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Turkey is on the Red List banning travel and yet UEFA see fit to send two UK teams there to play a match that could, and should safely take place in the UK. Please stop this match being played abroad.
It is vital that the government steps in to stop the UK teams being forced to travel to Turkey. It is dangerous, unnecessary and frankly irresponsible to allow this travel

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for. Decisions about where to hold the Champions League final are a matter for its organisers, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
