Problem

Football is the most popular sport in the world, which means there is great interest in it and it is followed by a large number of fans. However, it is necessary to ensure safety in the stands and also in the surrounding area. Fans encourage their team with their loud support and give it additional energy, thus becoming a key factor or the so-called twelfth player of the team.

However, it is not only fans who come to matches, but also hooligans, whose main purpose is causing disturbances.

Solution and Method

For this very reason, the diploma thesis focused on implementing security at an international football match with trained ** private security guards. The main role in ensuring security after and before the match is played by ** members of police units.

Results

The purpose of the diploma thesis was to determine how security supervision at football sporting events could be improved so that disturbances would not occur. Therefore, the student studied laws, regulations and took into account various factors and expert opinions regarding the organisation and implementation of sporting events. Based on legal foundations, the student analysed the provision of security at a sporting event, who is competent and responsible for security, and which measures are implemented in the event of fan disturbances.

For ensuring security, mutual cooperation is of key importance, particularly between ** the security-steward service and the police, especially when potential disturbances are anticipated. Regarding the issue of fan disturbances, the student also took into account ** the rules and measures of the international organisation UEFA. In the student's opinion, we should indeed follow UEFA's example and significantly ** tighten penalties**.

Although the tightening of penalties is a major step in the right direction, it is of course not the only solution. We should establish solid cooperation with organised fan groups and reach agreements with them about sporting, cultural support without unnecessary disturbances. Based on the research conducted, the student determined that all interviewees held similar opinions regarding most of the questions posed.

They agreed that good organisation of a sporting event is important, that penalties for troublemakers and also for the club should be significantly increased, and that security guards and police generally perform their work correctly.
