Update: A man has now been bailed. Read the updated story here.

A Bolton man has been detained upon his return to the UK for alleged fan disorder ahead of England’s 1-0 Euro 2024 victory over Serbia in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

The 39-year-old man from Bolton was returning to Manchester Airport from Germany on Monday when he was detained by officers under the Football Spectators Act 1989.

His passport has been kept by police and he will be forced to attend Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday for a Civil Football Banning Order Hearing.

Trouble broke out between football fans and videos on social media showed fans clashing on a side street, with tables, chairs and bottles being thrown before riot police arrived on the scene – seven Serbia fans were also arrested after violent clashes.

Mick Johnson, head of the UK Football Policing Unit, said: “This action shows the breadth of the Euro 2024 football policing operation and demonstrates there are consequences for supporters who are intent on causing disorder.

“Any UK football supporter causing disorder in Germany which would be deemed an offence in this country could face police action upon their return.

“We are working with the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts and where appropriate, we will seek football banning orders to prevent perpetrators from attending future games both internationally and domestically.

“German police will also take action against those who break the law and this can include heavy fines and custodial sentences.

“We are working closely with our policing colleagues in Germany and have a team of UK officers deployed overseas supporting their operation.

“We want fans who are travelling to Germany to have a good time, but please remember to drink responsibly, respect the local culture and don’t put yourself in danger.”
