Several Cambridgeshire organisations have decided to issue phone numbers for different helplines ahead of the England v Slovenia match.
During football tournaments, domestic abuse cases tend to rise as well as the number of drink and drug driving arrests.
In the last Euros tournament in 2021, Cambridgeshire Police arrested 69 people on suspicion of drink or drug driving. The force has issued a warning this year: "Don’t add yourself to that list this year.
"If you’re planning on having a few drinks, don’t take the risk of getting behind the wheel and find an alternative way home."
Cambridgeshire Police have a confidential hotline which is dedicated to reporting drink or drug driving - you can call it at any hour of the day on 0800 032 0845.
The police have also got an online form to use to report domestic abuse. The link to access the form is here.
