We will be deploying our facial recognition technology at key areas ahead of the match to assist in identifying those who have been issued with banning orders and may attempt to attend the game. pic.twitter.com/df3DNlEBSP
Only those who have previously been convicted of offences at football matches are on the watch list and all have valid banning orders in place.
— South Wales Police (@swpolice) January 9, 2020
Our watch list, as always, is event-specific and is only being used to reduce the threat of or likelihood of disorder.
The technology does not retain biometric data or images of people whose faces have been scanned.

Data and/or imagery is immediately and automatically deleted and is not available to the system operator or any other police officers.
