Chile proposes 'Vandal Registry' with stadium bans and passport restrictions

Chile is considering the creation of a "Vandal Registry" to address issues of violence and disorder at sporting events. This proposed registry aims to identify and sanction individuals who engage in criminal and administrative offenses within stadiums.

The sanctions envisioned under this registry are significant. Those listed could face bans from attending stadiums and potentially restrictions on their ability to obtain passports. Notably, these measures would be implemented without state subsidies, indicating a move towards self-regulation or private sector involvement in managing stadium access and security.

The scope of the registry is broad, intended to include not only individuals convicted of criminal offenses but also those who have committed administrative infractions. This approach seeks to create a comprehensive list of troublemakers to enhance safety and order at sporting venues across the country.
