In recent times, riots have broken out in world football and violence has escalated.

In the World Cup qualifiers in the African zone, because the Nigerian national team drew 1:1 at home to Ghana, it missed the World Cup and was attacked by angry Nigerian fans.

The fans could not accept this result, and rioted on the spot, dismantling the baffles of the football field and rushing directly into the field.

In the end, the police threw tear gas heavily to quell the riot, but a medical staff member of the African Football Federation died in the riot.

The ticket issued by FIFA said the match "failed to enforce existing safety rules, failed to ensure that law and order within the stadium was maintained, violated the playing field and threw objects".

In view of this, FIFA fined the Nigerian tournament organizers 150,000 Swiss francs.

On 29 March, during a match between Egypt and Senegal, several players, including star Salah, were irradiated with laser pointers by Senegalese fans before taking a penalty and thrown debris as they left the field.

The Egyptian Football Association demanded from FIFA that Senegal be disqualified from the World Cup and that Egypt be awarded the world cup.

In the end, FIFA did not accede to the Egyptian Football Association's request and issued a fine of 175,000 to Senegal.

In South American football, where violence is on the rise, there have been more than 10 incidents of violence on the pitch since January and April this year.

During these massive stadium riots, perpetrators threw stones, seats, and even dangerous items into the stadium, threatening the lives of the team and staff. During a riot in Brazil, a fan was shot to death.

Although FIFA has issued tickets for violence on these stadiums, it does not really prevent such violence.

It is reported that in order to quell the excesses of fans, South American countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru have enacted laws to imprison football hooligans and consider canceling football matches when the event warning reaches a certain level.
