All supporters attending matches at King Power Stadium should be free to enjoy a safe and inclusive matchday experience, and the Club will not tolerate behaviour that falls short of these expectations.
The Football Club is committed to protecting the matchday environment at King Power Stadium, and as a result has issued three bans varying in length from 2-12 months.
Two of those banned have also been subject to criminal proceedings – one resulting in a conditional police caution and another a significant fine following the undertaking of a programme education delivered by Kick It Out – football’s equality and inclusion organisation.
Superintendent Steve Potter of Leicestershire Police was the match commander for the fixture against Brighton.
He said: “We fully support the Club’s decision to ban these individuals. Their behaviour was inexcusable and will not be tolerated. We will continue to work closely with the Club to ensure those who are intent on disrupting the enjoyment for others are robustly dealt with.”
Should any supporters witness offensive behaviour on matchdays at King Power Stadium, there are several ways it can be reported:
- Contact the nearest steward

- Call 0116 229 4555
All complaints will be taken seriously and investigated with the help of King Power Stadium’s CCTV system.
Leicester City remain wholly committed to creating a passionate, inclusive, welcoming environment at King Power Stadium, in which everyone is free to enjoy the matchday experience.
