Sub-project 1: Overview of current trends and emergent challenges at football matches in Europe
An in-depth analysis of the current situation
of violence in football and other sport events
in Europe will be carried out to identify the
emerging challenges which have to be
tackled.
The overview produced will be based on different sources:
a questionnaire to the National Football Information Points (NFIPs) of all EU countries, and beyond, to gather information on the number of incidents at national level, the nature of the incidents, the emerging national challenges, etc.;
other data from different sources (T-RV Observers, Sport Federations, other NGOs, etc.).
This overview will also identify countries where football/sport safety, security, supporters' violence currently pose acute problems in Europe and will therefore be an important source of information to plan the future visits of the Standing Committee experts within the framework of the Compliance with Commitments project, as well as for further technical assistance activities in the future.
