At noon, the Superliga match between Brøndby and F.C. Copenhagen kicked off, but chaos erupted outside the stadium before the game even started. Reporter Helene Rønbjerg Kristensen, present at Brøndby Stadium, reported that the fan groups clashed and threw flares at each other inside the stadium.

In reaction to the unrest, the entrance to the South Stand, where Brøndby fans congregate, was briefly closed. Last night, tensions had already escalated between the two clubs’ fans, resulting in physical altercations. A local pub in Glostrup reported that it was “virtually destroyed” during the incidents.

The situation highlights ongoing issues between fan groups in Danish football, raising concerns over safety and security during matches.
