Two people have been given stadium bans for breaking the new tailgating law at last month’s Carabao Cup final
A new law targeting unauthorised entry, or 'tailgating', at football matches came into effect last month.
The legislation was first enforced at the Carabao Cup final between Arsenal and Manchester City on 22 March.
Kamal McEwan became the first person to receive a three-year football banning order and a £471 fine for unauthorised entry under the new law.
Alex Clark also received a three-year ban and a £1,862 fine for unauthorised entry, alongside a charge for possession of a Class A drug.
Wembley Stadium and the Metropolitan Police highlighted that these swift convictions demonstrate the law's immediate impact and serve as a warning against future unauthorised access.
