Football Federation Australia Cracks Down On Hooligans

6.17.2014

The A-League's "most rowdy supporters will now be cordoned off into special designated areas in what looks to be a hooligan crackdown by Football Federation Australia," according to the AAP. A-League CEO Damien de Bohun on Monday "announced new protocols to address the competition's 'unique' crowd atmosphere to ensure a safe and family-friendly environment would be maintained at live venues." The key component of the new measures "is a membership only area for all 'Home Club Active Supporter Areas'" for the upcoming A-League season. This means that all fans within the designated areas -- likely to be the most vocal and rowdy -- "will need to have a valid season membership pass or shorter-term active area pass" (AAP, 6/16)
