Russian authorities are hoping to stamp out hooliganism at this summer's Confederations Cup and next year's World Cup finals by introducing identity cards for supporters attending matches at the tournaments.
Russian supporters were at the centre of much of the trouble during Euro 2016 in France and a BBC documentary raised concerns about further co-ordinated violence at the World Cup.
The Russian FA was fined €150,000 and the team handed a suspended disqualification from Euro 2016 over crowd disturbances around the game against England in Marseille.
The identity cards, which will display the holder's photograph and contact details, will act as a fan's visa for entry into the country as well as into the stadiums.
