Reinforces Football's Anti-Pyrotechnics and Deceptive Practices Policies
The Saarland Football Association (SFV) has announced new measures aimed at enhancing football security and integrity within stadiums. The details of these measures, particularly those focusing on pyrotechnics and photo ID requirements, are yet to be widely publicised.
In a bid to ensure playing eligibility and prevent potential manipulation, the SFV has emphasised the importance of photo IDs for players in the active area. The absence of such identification poses challenges for referees, making it difficult to verify each player's eligibility without visual confirmation.
To combat the issue of pyrotechnics, which have been a recurring concern in football stadiums, causing severe injuries to both spectators and players, the SFV has declared a consistent pursuit and penalization of such incidents. Higher fines will be imposed on clubs found using pyrotechnics, serving as a deterrent for future misuse.
Several clubs were fined for pyrotechnics use in the previous season, underscoring the need for stricter regulations. The SFV views the lack of photo IDs as an opportunity for manipulation and has vowed to address this issue.
The second major change in regulations concerns player passes in the active area. The specifics of this change are yet to be disclosed, but it is expected to further strengthen the integrity of the game.
For accurate and up-to-date information on these new measures, it is recommended to contact the Saarland Football Association directly or check their official announcements.
The Saarland Football Association (SFV) also highlights the need for sports-analysis to identify patterns and trends that could potentially aid in making informed decisions about player eligibility and improving football security.
Moreover, as part of the new measures, the SFV will implement stricter regulations for player passes in the active area, which may include the use of sports tracking technology for enhanced analysis and better match integrities.
