Colombian football supporter and security management

Overview

In late September 2026, the Bucaramanga Council approved Colombia’s first public policy for ‘social barrismo’. This ten-year initiative, involving a 15 billion peso investment, aims to integrate football supporter groups into the community through pillars such as coexistence, education, employment, and substance use prevention.

By late October, football authorities implemented specific security and logistics protocols for various matches. In some instances, such as the match between Deportivo Pereira and Jaguares de Córdoba, officials ordered no public attendance due to stadium remodeling. In Bucaramanga, authorities authorized visiting fans for specific matches at the Américo Montanini stadium, implementing multi-agency monitoring and strict regulations regarding team apparel to ensure spectator safety.
