Football banning orders were introduced in the United Kingdom in 2000, which, according to the government, has helped to reduce the number of football-related detentions to record low levels.

"The Football Banning Orders Authority (FBOA) – part of the Home Office – ordered 1,312 banned individuals who hold a passport to surrender it to police on Monday 4 and Tuesday 5 June. The latest figures released today (Wednesday 13 June) show that forces in England and Wales have accounted for 1,254 passports," the press release said.

According to the press release, the police will hold the passports of the troublemakers until the World Cup final on 15 July and will continue to carry out coercive measures against those who have hot handed over their passports to the police throughout the entire sporting event.

Meanwhile, the UK embassy in Moscow has set up a hotline for fans in Russia.

"British citizens who need help or advice can contact consular employees at the phone numbers by telephone or via our Facebook and Twitter," the embassy said on Facebook.

The embassy added that their employees would be present in the Russian cities hosting England matches on match days.

"The safety and security of British fans going to Russia for the World Cup is our top priority. We work closely with our key partners and continue successful police-to-police cooperation to ensure safe and enjoyable tournament," the embassy said.

England will be playing at their sixth consecutive World Cup and will face Belgium, Panama and Tunisia in Group G.
