FA lobbies UK government to make tailgating' at turnstiles a criminal offence
Briefly

The Football Association is advocating for the criminalization of tailgating in football stadiums, particularly as the UK and Ireland prepare to host the 2028 men's European Championship. This push follows a significant number of arrests during recent matches for unauthorized entry, with current laws lacking sufficient deterrents for would-be tailgaters. The FA's efforts include lobbying the government and supporting a private member's bill aimed at creating criminal repercussions for tailgating, which they view as essential for maintaining security during major events.
The Football Association is urging the government to criminalize tailgating at football stadiums ahead of the 2028 men's European Championship to strengthen deterrents.
Despite 68 arrests for tailgating at the Carabao Cup final, a lack of legal basis for charges highlights a significant issue that needs attention before major events.
