EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order amends the Football Spectators (2014 World Cup Control Period) Order 2014 to correct an erroneous reference to 13th June 2014 as being the date of the last match in the 2014 FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) World Cup in Brazil, when in fact the correct date is 13th July 2014.

The effect of this Order is that the period from 2nd June 2014 to 13th July 2014 is a control period under the Football Spectators Act 1989 (“the Act”) for the 2014 FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) World Cup in Brazil.

During the control period, powers under sections 21A and 21B of the Act (summary powers to detain and refer to a court with a view to making a banning order) are exercisable. An individual subject to a banning order may be required to surrender his or her passport during a control period under section 19 of the Act. In addition, bail conditions can be imposed on an individual requiring that person to surrender his or her passport during a control period under section 14A (banning orders made on conviction of an offence) and section 14B (banning orders made on complaint) of the Act.
