Research from the National Centre for Domestic Violence during the football World Cup in 2022 reveals that domestic abuse incidents increase by 26% when our national team plays, 38% if they lose, and 11% the day after, regardless of the outcome.

The heightened emotions and alcohol consumption often associated with these games can exacerbate tensions at home, leading to an increase in abusive behaviour.

There is no justification for domestic abuse. While watching football does not cause abuse, it can act as a trigger in relationships where abuse is already present.
