Cost of policing football matches 1107/2025

FOI Reference: 1107/2025

Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request the following information held by Dyfed-Powys Police:

For each of the financial years from 2014/15 until 2024/25, and 2025/26 up to Nov 6, if available:

The total cost to the force of policing professional or semi-professional football matches (including league, cup and play-off fixtures and any associated match-day policing operations).

The total amount invoiced to football clubs, stadium operators, or event organisers for policing these matches.

The total amount actually received by the force from those invoices (i.e., money recovered from clubs or organisers).

Any written policy, guidance, or procedure used by the force to determine when and how football clubs are charged for policing services.

I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does not hold the information requested.

Response

Nil. This is due to the fact that we don’t police any professional or semi-professional football matches.

It should be noted that as a result of the systems adopted by Dyfed-Powys Police in relation to the recording of such information that the information released may or may not be accurate.

(This is a response under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and disclosed on 05/12/2025)
