Cyprus police bans vuvuzela from football games

The police has issued an all-out ban on the whirring vuvuzelas at football grounds, using an old law that prohibits any object considered dangerous, after the first noisy horns appeared in Cyprus soon after the World Cup that ended in South Africa last Sunday.
A police announcement said that all vuvuzelas will be confiscated in accordance with a law that aims to prevent violence on sports grounds, by banning items that could be “thrown or handled in a manner that would cause grievous bodily harm or material damage.”
The law enforcement agency said the vuvuzelas appeared during the European obligations of Cyprus teams, namely Apoel that beat Tauras 3-0 in Lithuania and Anorthosis that lost 2-0 to Croatia’s Sibenik in Larnaca. Both return games will be held next Thursday and Cypriot police are expected to be on the lookout for the noisy horns.
