Convicted football hooligans must hand over their passports this week in order to prevent them from attending the South Africa World Cup.

Those who reside in Wales and England that are under football banning orders must give their passports to police stations and are ordered to report to police on every England match day until the tournament is over in order to ascertain they are in the country.

When the World Cup ends on July 11^th, all passports will be returned to their owners.

South African police officials have already warned UK hooligans not to attempt to travel into the country with Police minister Nathi Mthethwa stating that the South African officials are already working with the British police to stop hooligans from attending the World Cup in Africa.

Mthethwa stated that they will not take any nonsense and they have made a concrete commitment to the UK authorities.

Head of the domestic World Cup operation, Assistant Chief Constable Dave Thompson, stated that with the success of football banning orders hooliganism is now a problem of the past due to the fact that less than ten percent of those that receive banning orders reoffend.

Thompson stated that despite this fact, there are small amounts that take part in football related violence which can create a risk to the large amount of people who properly obey the law at football games.

However, he said that the Association of police Officers and police forces has been working closely to identify individuals that are problems and act accordingly.
