Home Office measures to prevent “disruptive and violent” fans from travelling to the World Cup in Qatar have come into effect.
From November 10, the 1,308 people in England and Wales who are subject to a football banning order will be required to hand in their UK passports to the police until the end of the tournament.
They face up to six months in prison and an unlimited fine if they fail to do so or attempt to travel to Qatar and neighbouring countries.
Passports will be returned to individuals after the final match of the tournament.
If they wish to travel to other countries during this period, they will need to seek permission to hold on to their passports and will be subject to thorough checks.
As part of a targeted operation at ports, police will also be able to intercept known troublemakers who are likely to cause further disruption to stop them from attending the tournament.
If they are caught attempting to travel, they will face a banning order court hearing within 24 hours.
Police officers in the UK and Qatar will gather intelligence during the tournament, with fans causing disruption during the World Cup risking arrest or being handed a football banning order on their return to the UK.
This is part of wider action the government has taken to crack down on violence and disorder at football matches.
The World Cup takes place in Qatar from November 20 to December 18. The England team will face Iran on the second day of the tournament while Wales face the US. The Wales vs England match is on November 29.
