FA Security Reminder

In recent months, we have seen a rise in pyrotechnics, flares and smoke devices being brought to stadiums around the country and abroad. 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. These pyrotechnics and flares can burn at up to 2,000°C and can cause significant injuries to carriers and fellow spectators. We have also seen several incidents that have resulted in people experiencing breathing difficulties, distress, and discomfort. The potential injuries sustained as a result of someone using a pyrotechnic include.

 - Serious injuries, such as loss of limb or fingers
 - Severe burns, due to temperatures of up to 2,000°C
 - Breathing problems, due to smoke inhalation
 - Loss of hearing or sight, because of the explosive power

Anyone reported in possession of a pyro in or outside of the stadium will run the risk of their ESTC Membership being suspended in addition to the regulations and consequences set by the Polish Police.

We advise members who are already in Poland before match day to collect their tickets on Friday as we expect long queues on matchday

We have plenty of stewards at the hotel to help you find your way. The queue will be located outside of the hotel, so please ensure you have taken the appropriate measures to cope with the sun, and heat.

Safe travels and we hope you all have a great time in Poland!
