If that were the case, they would be exempt from the rule that travellers from the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland must currently observe a 14-day isolation period due to the virus strain of concern - Delta - first identified in India.
"The people accredited for the European football Championship are exempt from the quarantine obligation, even after arriving from an area impacted by a variant" Berlin said in a statement.
"This exemption concerns all the people who have been accredited by the organising committee for the preparation, participation, the holding and the follow-up of international sporting events," it added.
The exemption does not include fans, who will be obliged to follow German government self-isolation rules.

A general ban on entry is in place for people coming from countries on the 'virus variant' list - such as India and Brazil - the highest of Germany's risk categories.
There are some exceptions for entering from these countries - for example German residents and citizens. However, anyone who does enter from Germany is required to submit a Covid-19 test before boarding the flight and must quarantine for 14 days on arrival, regardless of whether they are fully vaccinated or not.
