FOI reveals football banning orders for more than 100 under-18s

More than 100 under-18s have been banned from attending football matches in the last three years, according to figures from Britain’s police forces.

The youngest person to get a Football Banning Order (FBO) – used to prevent disorder and hooliganism – was aged 12.

Figures for different police areas vary, with 43 FBOs for under-18s in one force’s area and none in many others.
