New Measures Against Violence in Stadiums

March 20, 2025

The government is promoting new legislative measures to combat violence in stadiums, including conducting alcohol and drug tests on fans. It also includes the installation of closed-circuit surveillance in stadiums with 500 or more spectators. Authorities believe these measures will enhance safety, while sports clubs express concerns about interference with their autonomy. A central issue is the power granted to the Cabinet to postpone matches for safety reasons.
