Telese. A 34-year-old footballer, resident in the Naples area, was reported by the Carabinieri of the Telese Terme Station for violating the two-year DASPO (Prohibition of Access to Sports Events), issued by the Benevento Police Headquarters.
The incident occurred during a five-a-side football match, valid for the Serie D championship, at the sports hall of the spa town. During routine checks carried out by the military, the man was identified among the players of the local team, in clear violation of the restrictive measure.
Il DASPO, issued following an episode that occurred in 2023, prohibited the subject from participating in any sporting event. Identified on the spot, the footballer was reported to the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Benevento. He now risks further sanctions, which could include the aggravation of the measure already in force.
Law enforcement agencies reiterated their commitment to carefully monitor compliance with regulations on safety and public order during sporting events, to prevent and repress illicit behavior.
He showed up at security with a suspicious backpack and tried to bypass the entry gate, but was stopped by officers and found in possession of potentially dangerous pyrotechnics. A 22-year-old man intercepted by police during a regional First Division championship match ended with a criminal complaint and a one-year ban.
The incident occurred last month, during the match between Asd Fc Nocelleto and Carinola Calcio, played at the "G. Pezzulo" municipal stadium in Carinola. Before kickoff, during screening operations at the entrance to the section reserved for local fans, staff from the Sessa Aurunca Police Station noticed the young man's behavior as he attempted to evade security checks, arousing suspicion among the officers.
Naples – The Naples Police Headquarters has released a summary of the public order and safety measures carried out in 2025 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, home of SSC Napoli, during all national and international competitions.

Naples – The Naples Police Headquarters is cracking down on violence and disorder in stadiums. A total of 16 bans on access to sporting events (DASPOs), issued at the initiative of the Anti-Crime Police Division, target a wide range of illegal behaviors, from rowdy international away matches to violent incidents in provincial stadiums. The most significant ban concerns an incident across the Channel. Five Neapolitan fans, all between the ages of 18 and 30, will be banned from stadiums for periods ranging from three to five years. The five were fined for incidents during the Champions League match between Manchester City and Napoli on September 18, played at the Etihad Stadium. Their "offense": attempting to access an unauthorized section. A scuffle ensued with stewards and British police officers, which culminated in their arrest. The conduct, deemed seriously prejudicial to public order, led to the immediate adoption of bans upon their return to Italy. The Police Commissioner's action was not limited to major events, but also affected smaller matches, highlighting an alarming trend of violence at the local level: Threats and assaults on referees: Two four-year bans were issued to a 35-year-old and a 57-year-old. The two, on separate occasions (the Puteolana-ASD Pianura and Montecalcio-Pol. Sibilla matches), had threatened and assaulted match officials. On-field assault: A 73-year-old was given a three-year ban for assaulting two players from the visiting team during the Polisportiva Casoria-Boca Academy match. The list of sanctions continues with shorter but no less significant measures: One fan was given a two-year ban for being reported for climbing over a stadium during the Napoli-Pisa match. Three Neapolitan fans (aged 18, 26, and 48) received one-year sanctions. The first two were reported during the Napoli-Genoa match, for lighting smoke bombs and resisting a public official, respectively. The third was reported for resisting a public official during the Napoli-Cagliari match. Finally, three additional bans, with one to four-year bans, were issued to individuals previously convicted of crimes not directly related to stadium violence, but still considered indicative of a danger to society, such as drug-related offenses and resisting a public official. The Police Commissioner's measure reiterates the hard line against any form of deviance that could threaten the serenity and safety of sporting events, both at the highest levels and in amateur leagues.

I find it strange that a footballer, who has already had a two-year DASPO, can still be found playing in a match. They should be more severe with the laws to prevent this from happening again.
