The hooligan register is a list of individuals, designated by the police to be barred from certain sports events.

The hooligan register was passed by the Danish Parliament in 2008 with the aim of preventing disturbances and increasing safety for spectators at sports events.

To be included in the register, one does not need to have been convicted, but there must be reasonable suspicion that a law has been broken, such as violating fireworks legislation.

In cases of particularly serious offenses, the police may impose a ban of up to four years. This could occur, for instance, if an individual engages in brawling during a soccer match, violates the knife law, or forces others to remove their soccer jerseys.

The police may share the list with stadium control officers.
