British authorities plan to confiscate passports of over 3,000 football hooligans to ensure they don’t travel to South Africa and disrupt the FIFA World Cup.

Under the plan, which is still subject to approval by the UK’s parliament, about 3,200 UK citizens with a record of hooliganism at football matches will be made to surrender their passports for the duration of the month-long soccer tournament.

"Police will also monitor all England fans on departure and intercept any known to pose a risk of violence or disorder, and we are working closely with South African authorities to help minimise any safety and security risks associated with hosting a major football tournament,” said a spokesperson for the UK’s Home Office.
