On June 11th, EURO 2016 will kick off in France, with 24 teams vying for the title of the greatest football country in Europe.
The competition attracts football fans from around the world and some reports have estimated this year will see some 500,000 fans from just England and Wales alone, travelling to France.
While EURO 2016 promises to be a fantastic sporting event, the safety and security of fans will be of the upmost importance to UEFA.
In a bid to reduce the risk of fighting among rival fans and disruption around France, UEFA have announced there will be a 24 hr alcohol ban in the streets of Lens where games will be played.
UEFA and French authorities have worked hard to create a safe and secure environment for the European Championships, however there are steps fans can take to protect themselves, should an accident occur.

- Will your health insurance cover a prolonged stay in hospital or just treatment?
- What treatment will be covered?
- How will your existing health condition affect your health insurance?
- How much money will the insurance company offer under different circumstances?
- Are there loopholes that you may not have considered?
