Attending sporting mega events during Covid-19
The UEFA EURO 2020 football tournament was one of the largest Sporting Mega Events (SMEs) to take place during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A perspective from key stakeholders on football and health improvement
Football is one of the most popular sports worldwide. Much of the research literature is primarily focused on contributions from the academic community. Given this, the Editors were motivated to provide an opportunity for practitioners and commissioners from applied settings to share their perspectives. This applied article offers insights from ‘key players' activity involved in football-led health improvement interventions
Good practices and health policy analysis in European sports stadia
Sport plays an important role within society and sports stadia provide significant settings for public health strategies. In addition to being places of mass gathering, stadia are often located in less affluent areas and are traditionally attended by 'harder to reach' communities.
