Sport Club do Recife have come up with a clever initiative to stop hooliganism in the stands. 

Instead of employing muscular stewards they have employed elderly mothers in order to provide a calming influence for supporters. 30 mothers were present at Recife’s most recent game at the weekend and the scheme was an initial success.

Aricio Fortes was the mastermind behind the plan and explained his thinking.

“The idea was to make the most fanatical supporters aware and help in some way to bring peace to stadiums. No one wants to fight in front of a mother, especially their own.”
