5. The UK has a long-established National Football Information Point (NFIP) operating within the UK Football Policing Unit (UKFPU). It collates, assesses and distributes information and intelligence to all those that need it, ensuring that appropriate action can be taken within the UK and overseas to prevent football-related crime and disorder. UKFPU works closely with local forces within the UK and also liaises with overseas NFIPs to share vital intelligence relating to international football matches and tournaments as well as other relevant international sporting events.
