MUNICH \u2014 Several spectators were treated in the hospital for injuries caused by a protestor who parachuted into the stadium before France played Germany at the European Championship, UEFA said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Debris fell on the field and main grandstand, narrowly missing France coach Didier Deschamps, when the parachutist struck wires for an overhead camera attached to the stadium roof.<\/p>\n

The governing body of European soccer called it a \u201creckless and dangerous\u201d act and said \u201claw authorities will take the necessary action.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis inconsiderate act \u2026 caused injuries to several people attending the game who are now in hospital,\u201d UEFA said.<\/p>\n

The incident happ<\/a>ened just before the start of the Euro 2020 match between the last two World Cup champions. Deschamps was shown ducking into the team dugout to avoid falling debris.<\/p>\n

France won the match 1-0.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe as the German soccer federation condemn it of course, because it wasn\u2019t just him, but others that he endangered and injured. It\u2019s unacceptable from our point of view,\u201d German team spokesman Jens Grittner said. \u201cAnd the incident is being checked by the police, the authorities here in Munich and at UEFA. But of course we also condemn what happened there. It could probably have turned out much worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

The protestor\u2019s parachute had the slogan \u201cKICK OUT OIL!\u201d and \u201cGreenpeace\u201d written on it.<\/p>\n

He glided into the stadium and seemed to lose control after connecting with the wires. He veered away from the playing area toward the main grandstand and barely cleared the heads of spectators.<\/p>\n

The parachutist managed to land on the field and Germany players Antonio R\u00fcdiger and Robin Gosens were the first to approach him. He was led away by security stewards and given medical attention on the side of the field.<\/p>\n

UEFA and one of its top-tier tournament sponsors, Russian state energy firm Gazprom, have previously been targeted by Greenpeace protests.<\/p>\n

In 2013, a Champions League game in Basel was disrupted when Greenpeace activists abseiled from the roof of the stadium to unfurl a banner protesting Russian oil and Gazprom, which sponsored the visiting team, German club Schalke.<\/p>\n

Greenpeace\u00a0later donated money<\/a>\u00a0to a charity supported by Basel, which was fined by UEFA for the security lapse.<\/p>\n

UEFA defended its environmental credentials in Tuesday\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cUEFA and its partners are fully committed to a sustainable Euro 2020 tournament,\u201d UEFA said, \u201cand many initiatives have been implemented to offset carbon emissions.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
