Copenhagen Police get most often moved the matches between FC Copenhagen and Brøndby in the Park for fear of trouble and unrest. Thursday played a new højrisikokamp in the Park, when the FCK and Malmö FF determines who should be further in Europe.
Here will Police be strong in numbers present in the cityscape of Copenhagen. But in contrast to the match between FCK and Brøndby, then have the Police not done anything to get moved to Thursday’s showdown earlier in the day.
– It is a challenge that the fight be settled at the time, as it does (kick-off 18.55, ed.). But we have in our planning takes account of the fact that there can occur disturbances, explains chief inspector Peter Dahl, who is head of the preparedness of the Copenhagen Police.

In spite of the risk of collision between the two fangrupperinger, have a move of the fight never talk of.
– We have no history to get moved to the fight on Thursday. We are indifferent, whether it is the organization of division, the FIFA or the UEFA, which stands as an organizer. But when we only have assumptions and a gut feeling, it is not enough to require a match moved, points to Peter Dahl.
Politiinspektøren elaborates:
– When FCK and Brøndby play, we have experience that with almost 100 percent certainty will be trouble. Therefore, we can get moved to the fight. If FCK and Brøndby suddenly playing two matches completely without trouble, we have no arguments to claim the following battle moved, explains Peter Dahl.

Peter Dahl assures that the Copenhagen Police on Thursday will be meeting the two fangrupperinger with dialogue in mind. There will be many so-called dialogue-operated with the yellow jackets in the streets around the Park.

On Thursday, get the Copenhagen Police, no help from the uniformed, Swedish cops in the streets of Copenhagen. Neither before, during, and after the fight.
– We have a cooperation across national borders where civilians, Swedish police officers will be mockers in Copenhagen. On the way, they will help us. But there will be no uniformed Swedish cops, says Peter Dahl.
the Match between FCK and Malmö are not being used as an exercise for the Copenhagen Police ahead of this summer’s european championship finals, stresses Peter Dahl.
– There will be a completely different set-up for Euro 2020. So the match between FCK and Malmö is a separate task for us and completely without comparison with it, waiting for the summer, explains politiinspektøren.
