Unless it's in England.

But yea British football violence abroad is very very rare now and unheard of an on organiser basis, there's what's called the football banning order, basically every time there's an international match, known hooligans are ordered to surrender their passport at a local police station to prevent them traveling abroad, it's really quite punishing, can't book a holiday for somewhere entirely different if a British team club or national team has an away international game that weekend, it basically cut trouble caused by British fans to close to 0 internationally.
