Stadium ban decision

The Stadionverbots-Entscheidung (Beschl. v. 11.04.2018, Az. 1 BvR 3080/09) (lit. 'Stadium ban decision' in German; also known as the Stadionverbots-Beschluss) is a 2018 decision by the Bundesverfassungsgericht, the German federal constitutional court, in which a football fan unsuccessfully attempted to have his ban from German stadiums declared to be unlawful retroactively. The fan received a two-year nationwide ban from football stadiums in 2006 after allegedly taking part in an incident with other fans. The court set a higher standard for banning a fan from all stadiums for alleged misconduct, declaring some applicability of mittelbare Drittwirkung, "the doctrine of the indirect horizontal effects of fundamental rights", a legal concept unique to European jurisprudence in regards to procedural rights and equality to their treatment of fans. As long as there is a reasonable concern about future disruption, general bans are still permitted even if the subject is not proven to have committed a crime. The decision impacted how other actions of structurally powerful companies, particularly social media companies, are evaluated.
