ANY apple-loving England fans could be shocked to the core at Euro 2024 — the German hosts are banning fruit to boost sales of their sausages.

Supporters trying to take any food into stadiums — including healthy half-time snacks — could be turned away or even barred from the entire tournament.

But the nation renowned for their love of Bratwurst and Frankfurters will be selling sausages for up to £3.77 each.

England kick off their campaign against Serbia at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen on June 16 followed by games against Denmark in Frankfurt and Slovenia in Cologne.

At the final at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium on July 14, single sausages will cost £4.77.

Security teams will be searching bags outside all ten tournament venues, while stewards and police will patrol inside.

Uefa’s ban covers “liquids — drinks, e-cigarette refills, etc — and food of any kind, including fruit, such as apples, bananas, oranges, etc.”

Punishments will include “expulsion from the stadium with a report to the police or a stadium ban for the whole or part of Euro 2024”.

Germans have also banned smoking and vapes from the grounds.

Cannabis joints will also be forbidden in stadiums despite new German laws making it legal to puff in public.

Flares, fireworks and whistles are also on the banned list – as well as megaphones and vuvuzela horns.

Nazi flags, plus material supporting sides in the conflict in Gaza will also be outlawed.
