Some of the men have also been banned from entering areas in Leicester on matchdays both before and after the game.

Banning orders have been given to 16 football fans who were involved in a fight that broke out following Leicester City’s match on the final day of the season in 2023.

The men, aged between 18 and 64, have all been sentenced at Leicester Magistrates’ Court and Leicester Crown Court for their part in the incident that occurred outside of a pub in Aylestone Road, Leicester - following the game between Leicester City and West Ham United on Sunday 28 May 2023.

All of the men pleaded guilty and since January they have been appearing in court to be sentenced. The final defendant was sentenced on Thursday (8 August).

They have each received a football banning order of between three and five years which prevents them from attending any regulated football match in the UK and also prevents overseas travel when the team they support, or the national team, are playing in a different country.
