Data from the Humberside Police area shows that domestic abuse reports increase when England play, no matter the result.
During the last World Cup, the force received 208 reports.
Humberside Police said:
“There is never an excuse for domestic abuse, you are not alone, and help is available. We would ask when you are ready to please come forward and report this. You can do so through 101 or 999 in an emergency.
“Every report is taken seriously, however if you are not ready to report to us, there are many agencies and organisations that may be able to offer additional help. Unless you are in immediate danger they will not share this information with us.”
