Europe's football governing body on Wednesday said it does not consider the LGBT flag to be a political symbol as it defended its decision to reject Munich's request to illuminate its stadium with rainbow colours during the Euro 2020 match between Germany and Hungary.In a statement released on Twitter in which its logo has been updated to show the rainbow flag, the UEFA said that its decision to turn down Munich's request was not political."On the contrary, the request itself was political, linked to the Hungarian football's team's presence in the stadium for this evening's match with Germany," it wrote."For UEFA, the rainbow is not a political symbol, but a sign of our commitment to a more diverse and inclusive society," it said, adding.
