Due to the disturbances in the match between Colo Colo and Fortaleza for the Copa Libertadores, Pablo Milad, president of the ANFP, announced strong disciplinary measures that could leave more than twenty fans unable to enter sports venues for an extended period.

"We have identified more than 20 people who will have an average ban of 12 years from entering stadiums in Chile and internationally, we also want to do it through CONMEBOL," the official stated.
The president of the ANFP also revealed that among those sanctioned are minors, and that the penalties vary between 6, 12, and 18 years depending on the severity of the actions. "For destruction, attack on public property, vandalism, and entering the field. Everything is specified in the plan we made approved by the Council of Presidents," he detailed.

The measures also come amid a crisis stemming from a tragedy that occurred before the start of the match, when a stampede at the stadium entrances resulted in the death of two young people, aged 12 and 18. The incidents began when fans tried to force their way in, prompting a police intervention with armored vehicles.
During the match, at the 72nd minute, a group of hooligans invaded the field as a protest over the deaths that occurred. According to initial investigations, one of the police vehicles allegedly knocked down a perimeter fence, causing the fatal accident.
Chile moves toward biometric identification in stadiums
To enforce these sanctions, the country will implement the National Fan Registry, a system that requires prior identification to purchase tickets. This registry includes the use of biometric technology, although it is still in the implementation stage. So far, around 600,000 people have been registered in pilot tests.

Additionally, Milad held a meeting with the Minister of Public Security, Luis Cordero, who announced the end of the Safe Stadium plan. This policy will be replaced by a new management model coordinated directly with regional delegates.
"The table is set, and we will work directly. We will have coordination with the delegates of each of the regions. They will take on what was Safe Stadium, the programming and planning of the security of each of the matches," explained the president of Chilean football.
