In the lead-up to this year’s Euros, nearly 200 football fans have been issued banning orders by the police. The Metropolitan Police’s football policing unit secured a record 197 football banning orders last season, marking the highest number ever in a single season.
Most of the fans banned will be required to surrender their passports to the police, effectively preventing them from travelling to Germany for the 2024 Euros. Depending on the specifics of the orders issued, these fans could also be prohibited from being near domestic stadiums or towns on match days.
