At least 2,300 football 'thugs' banned from World Cup by UK as part of crackdown on violent behaviour

The UK authorities have banned at least 2,300 individuals identified as football 'thugs' from attending the World Cup as part of a crackdown on violent and disorderly behaviour. The banning orders are designed to prevent known troublemakers from travelling abroad and causing disturbances at the tournament. This measure reflects ongoing efforts by British law enforcement to tackle hooliganism and protect the safety of fans and host nations.
