The Safety Concept for Football Matches

Organising football matches in Poland is currently a very important issue for the institutions and services responsible for security. The author, on the basis of his professional and scientific experience, has presented a concept of safety in this area. The article analyses in detail the organisational and legal solutions in force in Poland and selected European countries and assesses their effectiveness. The proposed concept provides for the development of organisational and functional requirements that would increase the level of safety during this type of sports events. Implementing the proposed solutions into the current law would enable a harmonised security system to be organised.
