When a sporting spectator receives a lifetime ban from a stadium for racism, vandalism, violence, streaking, etc. how is that enforced? There are tens of thousands of people who attend each game. What is a stop them from coming back? How does the banning process and enforcement work?

My brother used to work in the medical emergency staff in large football event and was often sitting in the “control room”. A large elevated room with perfect visual on the entire stadium.

Next to him there were two agents of the law enforcement agency for terrorism, organized crime, etc.

They had a camera with a huge lens, a computer, and a database. They were scanning the crowd, taking pictures, looking for some people in particular. It’s not that people banned from matches try to sneak it and sit quietly in the last row with a scarf on their face. They are in the middle of the rowdiest group, creating the same troubles that had them kicked out. No intervention was planned during the match, just collection of evidence.
