Introduction of Bill to Combat Violence in Sports Venues
February 4, 2025
The Ministry of Justice is moving forward with a bill aimed at combating violence in sports venues following recent incidents in Larnaca. The bill includes measures like drug and alcohol tests for fans suspected of being under the influence. The checks will be targeted, and anyone who tests positive will be denied entry to the stadium. There are also concerns about not policing matches with visiting fans until the new bills are passed.
