World Cup 2026: Over 2,300 England fans banned from travelling to USA, Canada and Mexico

More than 2,300 people with football banning orders (FBOs) will be prevented from travelling to the World Cup.

Those who have been issued FBOs must hand their passports over to police by Tuesday to prevent them travelling to the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Banning orders are court-imposed and can last for up to 10 years. They are issued for offences such as violent and public disorder, drug possession and ticket touting.

Police will hold the passports of those with FBOs until the World Cup final on July 19.

Breaching a banning order is a criminal offence, and can result in an unlimited fine and a six-month prison sentence.

Sarah Jones, crime and policing minister, said: "The vast majority of football fans travel to support their team with pride and respect.

"But for the small minority of thugs who have let the side down in the past, we are clear: you are not welcome at this World Cup.

"Banning those with a history of disorder helps protect both local communities and the thousands of fans who simply want to enjoy the games. Our tough action means genuine fans can cheer on their teams safely and without being disrupted.

"For fans staying closer to home, we've put in place longer pub opening hours meaning more time to come together and back the home nations - right through to the final whistle and beyond."

Around 65,000 fans are expected to travel from the UK to the World Cup.

Police have also met with England players, their families and their agents for briefings on how to counter online hate and racism ahead of the tournament.
