Fans who let off smoke bombs or invade the pitch at Premier League football matches will be automatically banned from their club for at least one year.
The 20 Premier League clubs unanimously agreed to introduce the punishments as part of a crackdown on anti-social and criminal fan behaviour inside stadiums.
The new policy comes into effect immediately with the ban applicable to both home and away matches. It could also be extended to parents or guardians of children who take part in such activities.
A Premier League statement read: 'At a Premier League Shareholders' Meeting today, clubs unanimously agreed to introduce minimum-length bans for supporters who take part in anti-social and criminal behaviours at League stadiums.
