The Chinese government has rolled out new regulations to beef up crowd control and safety at football matches, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) said Wednesday.
The regulations call for improved safety in stadiums and their entry and exit facilities, and prescribe countermeasures for acts that upset public order during matches.
Jointly issued by the MPS and the General Administration of Sport, the rule specifies tolerable capacities for stadiums to prevent overcrowding and stampedes.
China hosts about 1,300 football matches annually, including the Super League, League One, League Two and FA Cup, all of which operate under the auspices of the Chinese Football Association. |
