The U.K. government reported a 12% increase in football banning orders (FBOs) for the past season, with 2,439 in effect by June, and 685 new FBOs issued. Policing minister Diana Johnson emphasized ongoing efforts to make football safer, including expanded drug testing. Despite this, arrest numbers fell, down 11% to 1,932, marking progress in reducing incidents.
