We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about banning people from football matches for behaviour that does not meet the criminal threshold, are a matter for the Football Association and the relevant club, not the UK Government or Parliament. We could accept a petition calling for racist behaviour at a football match to be made a specific criminal offence, with the sanction being a banning order.

Background
i don’t believe that the football association are strict enough when punishing those who do not act correctly during a game, and therefore propose harsher bans to ensure racism and racist behaviour is permanently removed from the game
