A new campaign against domestic abuse has been launched in Manchester to coincide with a predicted rise during the World Cup.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) claims that there is up to a ten-fold increase during sporting events.
Home Office research collated in 1996 showed a rise of 30% on England match days.
The campaign, fronted by X Factor star Rowetta Satchell, features posters of a blood-stained football shirt.
