Health and safety
The safety of the fans coming to King Power Stadium is of paramount importance, and the FA takes a number of steps before, during and after the match to ensure fans of all ages can enjoy the occasion in a safe environment.
Persistent standing
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind all supporters that persistent standing during a match at King Power Stadium is strictly forbidden and may result in ejection from the ground. Persistent standing not only compromises crowd safety, but also affects the matchday experience of fellow spectators, especially children and elderly people.
Pyrotechnics
In recent months, we have seen a rise in pyrotechnics, flares and smoke devices being brought to stadiums around the country.
It is important to highlight that these items are not only illegal inside a football stadium, but these prohibited items can also cause great harm to people. If you are found to be in possession of a pyrotechnic device, you could face arrest.
Anti-social and discriminatory behaviour
LFC is committed to eradicating all forms of abuse and discrimination, both online and in stadia through its Red Together programme.
King Power Stadium and the club operate a zero-tolerance policy on any form of anti-social and discriminatory behaviour. If you witness any anti-social or discriminatory behaviour on the day, text HELP to 66566 or contact your nearest steward.
LFC would like to remind fans of their responsibility to do the right thing and be aware of the potential consequences. Racist, homophobic, hateful, and discriminatory chanting is a hate crime and perpetrators can face prosecution.
Any LFC fan who is proven to have behaved in an abusive or discriminatory way, either online or in-person, will face action via LFC’s sanctions process.
