Police increase presence ahead of Rosenborg versus Brann match in Trondheim

On Saturday night, a significant police presence was observed in Midtbyen, Trondheim, following several ongoing confrontations between football supporters of Rosenborg and Brann.

A few individuals were taken into custody, but no injuries were reported. The Trøndelag police described the supporters’ behavior as unacceptable during the incidents.
