Wimbledon 2023: Security will be increased in Wimbledon after many protests in sports competition in Britan
Wimbledon. The All England Club has increased security in coordination with London police and other agencies ahead of the Wimbledon tennis Grand Slam starting next week in the wake of protests at several major sporting venues in the UK this year. The second Ashes cricket Test between England and Australia in London on Wednesday was briefly halted as environmental activists stormed the ground five minutes after the start of the Test.
When the protesters spread orange powder on the field, players from both the teams stopped them. “Based on what has happened at other sporting events and on the advice of our partners, we have reviewed and enhanced our security plans,” All England Club Director of Operations Michelle Ditt said on Thursday. ,
Earlier this month, protesters blocked the England cricket team bus during a Test against Ireland in London. Activists also disrupted Premier League football matches, the Premiership Rugby final and this year’s World Snooker Championships in Sheffield.
