ROME: After five cases of racist chants in eight rounds of Serie A, the Italian soccer federation is considering employing advanced listening devices used in anti-terrorism operations to identify offending fans.

Federation president Gabriele Gravina has detailed "a passive radar device that uses directional microphones to determine the source of the noise. It can immediately determine who is making a racist chant – or it can illustrate the trajectory of fireworks."
