A Supporter Liaison Officer (SLO) provides a formal link between supporters and their football club, advocating for the best possible match night experience at home and away games and recognising the importance of fans to the Beautiful Game. Developed originally in Germany, the role was introduced to European football by UEFA and since included in FAI licensing requirements. SLOs are not part of security activities; instead, they seek to build trusting and respectful relations with all key stakeholders by liaising with all supporters. Further information about the role across Europe can be found here.
