The Royal Dutch Football Association — KNVB — is developing a fingerprint-operated device that could be used to keep banned fans from entering stadiums.
It uses fingerprint and GPS technology and is being developed by security company G4S to determine whether or not a hooligan is inside or near a stadium he is banned from entering, and the program has already been tested on fans who received reduced bans in exchange for agreeing to participate in the trial, according to the reports.
“You have to identify yourself three times: (once) during the match, and one time before the match and one time after the match,” KNVP spokesman Hans van Kastel told VICE Sports.
