Part IV of the Public Order Act 1986 (Exclusion Orders) is extensively amended by sections 6 to 8 of the Football (Offences and Disorder) Act 1999. Amongst other changes, the exclusion order is renamed the domestic football banning order.

Section 34 requires a court making a domestic football banning order to provide a copy of the order to the person to whom the order relates, the chief officer of police for the area in which the offence was committed and any prescribed person.

Article 3 of this Order prescribes the Chief Executive of the Football Association and the Football Banning Orders Authority for the purposes of section 34.

The effect of a domestic football banning order is to prohibit entry to any premises for the purpose of attending any prescribed football match. Article 4 prescribes the association football matches for the purposes of section 36.
