ABOUT 150 fans of Chelsea and Manchester City must give police their passports to prevent travel to the United States for the Club World Cup tournament, the government said today.
The fans are subject to so-called banning orders for “previous thuggish behaviour” connected to football, the Home Office said, listing offences such as “violence, disorder, pitch invasions, use of pyrotechnics and online hate crime.”
The government office said updated legislation came into force Wednesday for the Fifa-organised June 14 to July 13 tournament, being played in 11 US cities.
