Few clubs know pyrotechnics like Beerschot. Their Antwerp derby is infamous for its intensity – flares, smoke, and even matches being stopped. But with that comes experience: Beerschot has developed a hands-on approach to tackling one of football’s biggest safety challenges.
In this session
Why join? Because pyro affects everyone. It’s about risks for fans, players, and staff. It’s about sanctions and stadium bans. And it’s about how clubs can turn lessons learned into best practices.
In just 30 minutes, you’ll hear:
✔️ What pyro is – and the rules that govern it (UEFA, national, and club level)
✔️ Where exceptions exist (professional, organized pyro)
✔️ How Beerschot’s strategic security plan works on prevention, communication, and enforcement
✔️ How Beerschot’s own data shapes their next steps – from awareness campaigns to stricter checks and smarter sanctions
