This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about hooliganism at football matches, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
The Government and Parliament are responsible for legislation setting out criminal offences, including those which apply specifically to football matches, but law enforcement, including at football matches, is the responsibility of local police forces.
You can find out more about football related offences here: https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/football-related-offences-and-football-banning-orders
If you want the Government to create a new offence, or review law enforcement at football matches, we may be able to accept a petition requesting this.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
