In the aftermath of Euro 2020, UEFA moved to hold Hungary's football federation accountable for the discriminatory conduct of its supporters — monkey chants directed at players during the France match, homophobic banners at the Portugal game, and alleged homophobic chanting in Munich. The governing body ordered three home matches played in empty stadiums, a suspended fourth match, and a €100,000 fine, signaling that the privilege of a crowd is not unconditional. It is a moment in the longer story of sport wrestling with the question of who belongs in its spaces, and on what terms.
