Uefa has launched an extensive investigation after explicit noises were broadcast during the live broadcast of the Euro 2024 draw on Saturday, December 2.

During the draw, which was broadcast live by the BBC from Hamburg, Germany, graphic noises were heard as Switzerland were drawn into Group A with Scotland, Hungary and hosts Germany.

The noise of a woman's voice making love was heard several times in the background of live broadcasts during the draw of the European competition that was being held.

During the uproar, former Manchester City stars David Silva and Danish footballer Brian Laudrup tried to maintain their composure as they remained focused despite the disruption. unusual.

"There is noise here... that has stopped," Uefa deputy general secretary Giorgio Marchetti said after the Group A draw was completed.

"No more noise..." he added, before the loud noise started again when Italy were named as the final team in Group B along with Spain, Albania and Croatia.

YouTube singer and prankster Daniel Jarvis - AKA Jarvo69 - was behind the show and has also admitted his involvement in the embarrassing incident.

Jarvis went live on the X network, formerly Twitter, making frequent calls on his mobile phone to create buzz during the Euro draw, which was televised by the BBC from Hamburg, Germany.

Jarvis told the audience: "Listen it was us, it was us. We put it in there, we put the phone in there, we called it, sex noise in the Euro 2024 draw."

This is not the first sexual outcry on a BBC live program in recent years, a similar incident occurred in January during the pre-discussion of an FA Cup match between Liverpool and Wolves.
