Police called to dozens of fights during England's Euro 2020 final defeat
Police in the West Midlands were called to more than 60 incidents in relation to the Euro 2020 cup final on Sunday.
West Midlands Police said the majority of calls related to fighting and disorder at licensed premises across the region.
A number of investigations are now ongoing.
A spokesman for the force said: "We were alerted to more than 60 incidents in relation to the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy on Sunday night.
"We had put in place extra resources to cope with the expected demand across the force as a result of England reaching the final.
"The majority of calls to police concerned fighting and disorder at various licensed premises. Where necessary, people were directed to leave.
"Details have been taken and those concerned will be voluntarily interviewed in due course. A number of investigations are currently ongoing.
"Anyone with information about any football-related incidents are advised to contact us."
A fight broke out outside the Britannia Sports Bar, in Wollaston – hours before the England's 2020 Euros match with Italy.
Footage of the fight has been widely shared across social media – leading to pub bosses issuing a statement on Facebook saying the fight was not football related.
And in Staffordshire three people were taken to hospital after a pub fight minutes after the match finished.
Staffordshire Police are appealing for witnesses following the brawl at the Why Not Inn, in Broad Lane, Essington, at around 11.10pm on Sunday.
