At Legal Supporters, we understand that football is not just a sport but a passion that unites thousands of people and creates a sense of belonging to a community that transcends borders.

 

The devotion to a football team can lead fans to travel great distances to support it, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and excitement that is essential to football culture. However, we also recognize that these large-scale fan movements can lead to complex situations that require a specialized approach and proper legal management to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved.

A PROACTIVE AND PREVENTIVE APPROACT

Our service is not limited to simply reacting to incidents; we also take a proactive and preventive approach aimed at minimizing the risk of conflict situations. This includes organizing workshops and informational sessions for fan groups, where we cover topics such as applicable legal regulations, expected behavior during trips, and best practices for interacting with security forces.

 

Además, trabajamos estrechamente con clubes de fútbol, asociaciones de aficionados y otros actores relevantes para promover un entorno más seguro y respetuoso en torno a los eventos deportivos. Creemos que la colaboración entre todos los actores involucrados es clave para prevenir conflictos y garantizar que el fútbol siga siendo una fuente de alegría y unión para todos.

MEDIATION AND PRE-EVENT ORGANIZATION

One of the key aspects of our service is mediating with security forces and the relevant authorities. Before each trip, our team coordinates with the local police, state security forces, and sports authorities to establish a direct, effective channel of communication. This prior coordination helps anticipate potential conflicts and adopt preventive measures that promote a peaceful outcome for the event.

Nos encargamos de garantizar que las expectativas y preocupaciones de los hinchas sean escuchadas y consideradas por las autoridades. Esto incluye la planificación de rutas seguras hacia el estadio, la organización de puntos de encuentro, y la disposición de medidas de seguridad que protejan tanto a los hinchas como al público en general. Al actuar como intermediarios entre los aficionados y las fuerzas de seguridad, buscamos minimizar el riesgo de malentendidos que puedan dar lugar a altercados o intervenciones policiales desproporcionadas.

Además, proporcionamos asesoramiento legal previo a los grupos de fans, informándoles sobre sus derechos y deberes durante el desplazamiento y en el estadio. Este conocimiento es esencial para evitar situaciones en las que la falta de información pueda dar lugar a conflictos con la autoridad.

IMMEDIATE LEGAL ASSISTANCE / DEFENSE

Despite our best efforts in mediation and prevention, we recognize that, in the context of a major sporting event, it is not always possible to completely avoid incidents. In such cases, our immediate legal assistance becomes an indispensable resource for fans.

 

If any incident occurs during or around the match, whether before or after, our team is prepared to intervene quickly and effectively. We offer an on-call service that allows us to be available at all times to assist any fan who needs support at a police station. This immediate assistance service is essential to ensure the respect of our clients’ rights from the very beginning and to prevent a delicate situation from escalating due to a lack of legal advice.

Our commitment to fans does not end at the police station. If the situation requires it, we provide comprehensive legal defense that covers all stages of the criminal process. From court representation to filing appeals, we represent our clients with the utmost professionalism and dedication.

 

The defense of football fans in criminal matters requires a deep understanding of applicable legislation as well as the unique aspects of the sporting context. Our team is made up of highly qualified criminal lawyers who not only have extensive experience in criminal law but also understand the dynamics and culture of football. This dual specialization allows us to offer truly tailored legal services that meet the specific needs of fans.

IMPORTANCE OF LANGUAGE AND COLLABORATION

Another significant challenge faced by foreign fans visiting Spain is the language barrier. Effective communication with authorities, security forces, and stadium personnel is essential to prevent misunderstandings and to ensure that supporters fully grasp any guidelines or restrictions that may be imposed. In legal situations, precise communication becomes even more critical, as any misunderstanding can have serious consequences.

At our firm, we not only have attorneys who are fluent in Spanish and knowledgeable about local laws, but we also work closely with professional translators of English, French, Italian, German, and Portuguese. This collaboration enables us to provide a comprehensive service that ensures effective communication between our foreign clients and the Spanish authorities. Whether during preventive mediation or at the police station, we make sure our clients fully understand their legal situation and can clearly and accurately express their needs and concerns.

This linguistic approach is essential to guaranteeing effective legal defense and safeguarding the rights of foreign fans at all times. We know that precise translation and interpretation can mean the difference between a favorable or unfavorable outcome in legal proceedings, which is why we partner with the best professionals in this field to ensure the highest quality of service.

PROTECTION OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS

In the context of fan travel, it is crucial to remember that fans do not forfeit their fundamental rights simply by attending a football event. At our firm, we make every effort to protect and defend these rights at all times, including the right to freedom of expression, freedom of movement, and the right to a fair trial, among others.

In recent years, we have observed stricter security measures at sporting events which, while often justified, have also led to situations where fans’ rights have been jeopardized. At our firm, we strongly believe in the importance of achieving a balance between security and the protection of individual rights.
