Ejection and Bans: Fans violating the Code may be ejected from the venue, have their ticket privileges revoked, or face a permanent ban.

For pre and regular season matches, there are two (2) permitted uses only for the discharge of smoke:

1. Discharge is completely under the control of the home Club stadium and approved by the local fire authority.
2. Discharged by supporters in an area monitored by security and NOT in an area controlled by fans or supporters (approved by home Club stadium and local fire authority).

Where the second option is utilized, a number of restrictions apply. Smoke must be: 

1. Purchased by the home Club.
2. Stored by the home Club.
3. Pre-approved by local fire authority.
4. Discharged by an individual who has been instructed by the home Club as to the process for discharge during the Match.

Each Club should have in place an agreement for the discharge/timing/frequency of smoke and any abuse of such agreement will result in the loss of smoke privileges.

There is NO circumstance allowing a fan/supporter to enter a stadium or Match in possession of pyrotechnics, smoke flares, fireworks, or other device used to discharge smoke.

Any person found entering a stadium in possession of prohibited smoke equipment or identified setting off of the above-mentioned devices, will be banned from all Matches and events:

• First offence: One (1) year ban.
• Second offence: Lifetime ban.

The Home Club will also be subject to disciplinary sanction by Canada Soccer where pyrotechnic, smoke flare, firework, or other similar equipment is discharged in the spectator area.
