The project is designed to further evaluate the current situation and emergent challenges in football matches and, where appropriate, other sports events with regard to violence, disorder and other anti-social behaviour. These developments and the implementation of systems and procedures were aligned with European best practices and standards for spectator safety, security and service.

The course has over 900 users
The number of course users reached nearly 900, a strong indicator for a voluntary online course. Already available in Polish and Portuguese, there is a growing interest from member states for the course to be translated into their national languages.
