Away fans belong in football. Collective bans cannot be the default response to safety & security concerns. Today, FSE, UEFA, European Football Clubs, & European Leagues unite to limit collective bans against away supporters by endorsing a @coe.int recommendation. 🔗 ow.ly/YK7z50ZISqI

🚨 The World Cup is part of football's shared heritage, not a product to be sold to private investors. #FIFA must stop putting commercial interests ahead of supporters & the game itself. 🔗 www.fanseurope.org/news/football-be… #DontSellOurGame

Supporters already know where this road leads:

More expensive tickets, more
commercial breaks, more paywalls, more expensive TV subscriptions, more unreal half-time shows…

And a World Cup that becomes so big, so money-driven, that it can be organised only by a handful of countries.

We urge FIFA to immediately put its proposal to rest. We call upon the FIFA Council and all member associations to reject it before irreversible damage is done.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it got worse. Football must stand united in opposition to the people who want to sell what isn't theirs to sell. Cultural heritage, not profit maximisation, is the name of the game. #NotForSale

"At the World Cup, the market structure leaves the price free to chase demand under the assumption that loyal fans will pay higher prices. This serves as a vital lesson for policymakers on how to protect fans and how to regulate the future of monopolistic tournament pricing."

📢 We welcome UEFA's decision to extend its Standing Facilities Observer Programme. 🙌 More fans will have the choice to stand at European matches from next season. 🔗 More: bit.ly/4upsghC

Graphic promoting the UEFA Standing Facilities Observer Programme for the 2026/27 season. The left side features FSE branding and three key points with green tick icons: additional UEFA member associations can apply to join the programme from September 2026; all UEFA nations now have a clear pathway to implementing standing; and men’s and women’s club and national team competitions are now included. The right side shows an empty football stadium with standing sections and blue seating.

Quote from Ronan Evain, Executive Director of FSE: "Standing at matches has an enormously positive effect on atmosphere at European matches. It is a huge part of supporter culture and tradition across the continent. We value the recognition of this contribution by UEFA and other European football stakeholders, as well as the continued cooperation in recent years to deliver this.”
