Chelsea Football Club: Fundraising

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, in the context of sanctions imposed by the Government on Roman Abramovich, whether the Big Stamford Bridge Sleep Out 2022 can go ahead.

Answer

We have been clear that we would speak with Chelsea to understand what is needed to allow upcoming games to be played to minimise the impact on the Leagues, other competitions, the wider football pyramid and fans. These conversations are ongoing. The continuance of activities at Stamford Bridge not covered by the licence would be for the stadium management to confirm.
