Safety of people and property is one of the preconditions for a comfortable life, and gathering a large number of people in the same place can impair that safety. Some of the places where a large number of people gather are also sports facilities, especially football stadiums, which are also especially popular from the point of view of safety. The purpose of football is to be a source of fun and relaxation, but sometimes it can be a source of discontent and frustration that must be kept under control and restrained, because in such situations, innocent people who have nothing to do with the event causing the misconduct are most affected. The organizer of the sports event is legally obliged to ensure the safety of all persons participating in the event, and the easiest way to achieve this is through preventive action provided for by law. Preventive action eliminates the possible causes of security breaches in sports facilities, and the possible causes include alcohol, drugs, pyrotechnics and banners. Certain incidents cannot be foreseen and a sufficient number of adequately equipped and trained persons are required to be able to intervene in a timely manner and to control the situation. Such situations are challenging, very dangerous and, in some cases, disastrous. In order to be prepared to handle every incident properly, everyone involved in the protection of sports events must receive adequate training, daily education and physical preparation, as their psychophysical state must be at the peak of their duty to provide protection in sports facilities. One of the most important things that most providers of protection in sports events miss out are simulations of stadium riots. The simulation is conducted with a select group of people, i.e. volunteers who enact situations, such as the use of pyrotechnics or mass fights at an empty stadium when the sports event is not taking place. Conducting such an exercise is not only beneficial to security guards and the Ministry of the Interior, but also to firefighters and ambulance services who find it extremely stressful to find themselves in the situations with teams that are not well-versed and do not know their working principle. Most importantly, everything happens in controlled conditions and the security of people and property is not compromised.
