Organisation of Matches
1. National associations that organise matches shall:
a) assess the degree of risk posed by matches and notify the FIFA bodies of those that are especially high-risk;
b) comply with and implement existing safety rules (FIFA regulations, national laws, international agreements) and take every safety pre- caution demanded by circumstances before, during and after the match and if incidents occur;
c) ensure the safety of players and offi cials of the visiting team during their stay;
d) keep local authorities informed and collaborate with them actively and effectively;
e) ensure that law and order are maintained in the stadia and imme- diate surroundings and that matches are organised properly.
2. National associations are held responsible for the behaviour of their supporters (especially with regard to throwing missiles and invading the pitch) and auxiliary staff.
