A total of 2,584 football-related arrests were made during the 2023-24 season across England and Wales, representing an increase from last year's record breaking figure.
The Home Office revealed figures for the season, revealing a 14 per cent increase from the previous year when 2,264 arrests were made.
The increase has been attributed to a growing number of arrests for possession of class A drugs, which were up by 144 on the previous year.
A further 180 arrests were made in England and Wales in relation to Euro 2024, compared to number for overseas tournaments the previous season.
