Background

We call on the government to introduce legislation prohibiting the wearing of full-face masks at football matches and within stadium grounds, except where there is a legitimate medical reason.

Additional details

Supporters should be able to enjoy matches without fear or intimidation. Allowing people to hide their identity can undermine accountability and make it more difficult for authorities and stadium staff to maintain safety.
